I do not know if anyone has posted this but recently I have discovered oven canning dried goods. i.e. flour, dried beans etc... Things you can not obviously can in the oven are sugar, brown sugar or anything that can turn into a syrup or just not work. In any case place dried goods in whatever size jar you want place into preheated oven (200 degrees F) for one hour (this is to kill an bacteria). After one hour remove from oven ( here is where you can reuse already used canning lids) place lids on jars and place bands on tightly. Leave in oven for another half an hour remove and let sit they should all seal. From my understanding your jars of dried goods should be able to sit on the shelf for 30+ years. Also wanted to mention we recently got a grain grinder to grind our own grains. Anyone interested in bulk whole grains and ground grains just inbox me. Keep in mind all this is organic.
