When you garden or shop for the purpose of preservation, one question that arises is, “How much do I need to grow (or buy)?”
That is the problem we seek to solve with this chart. It can save you from unproductive guesswork and reduce your trial-and-error phase.
Here’s how to use it:
Let’s say you reverse engineer your favorite meal and realize that you need 26 cans of carrots to enjoy that meal every other week for a year. The chart tells you that it takes approximately 1 pound of carrots to fill 1 pint jar. Therefore, you need to grow 26 lbs of carrots.
Bear in mind that all amounts listed are for average-sized fruits and vegetables. Of course, size varies, so precise amounts will vary as well.
Enjoy!
