0:00.0	So this year in my garden and homestead I got into a little bit more of the
0:17.1	preserving side of things and purchased a pressure canter and then with Jacques I
0:21.0	made probably one of the more basic recipes zesty salsa out of the ball book
0:26.5	so probably something hundreds and maybe thousands of people have made exactly the same way I made
0:31.5	it but all from fresh ingredients we have Melissa Norris, exactly the same way I made it, but all from fresh ingredients.
0:33.3	We have Melissa Norris back on the show talking about preserving this week, Melissa.

1:32.2	keeping an ear on it for the time, but really less hands-on work for me.
1:36.0	And I think I love to, especially with the pressure canter because you can do those vegetables and meats and broths and soups and stews.
1:45.0	And so then on the back end, when we're really busy and I don't have time to prep or cook dinner,
