This is the reason we've never attempted it, even in the pressure canner. Wife wants to but I think the freeze drier will be the way to go.

Pumpkin would be hard to can. Because canning uses heat. You would end up with a jar full of cooked pumpkin.

This is it what happens to everything in canning.... which is why i love canning chicken, makes for readily available chicken with the pop of a top!
HuskerTrev:
Just a quick update, I have a potential employee making the trip from the big city out here today, so the likelihood of getting the breakfast burrito mix made up this afternoon is slim. I should have time tomorrow after church to get it going though, so look for a photo update tomorrow evening!

When you store for long term how long should it last?

Basing my info off of other products, upwards of 25 years. Every freeze dried food producer states it will last 20-25 years. Meats typically have a 10 year life. So, You could say 5 years and know your perfectly fine. I have eaten freeze dried foods older than that with no adverse taste or reactions for what it's worth.
