This is one thing I was considering yesterday as well. I'm completely set up for preserving food (canning in particular, the others to lesser degrees), but I really need to learn how to can over an open fire. I'm pretty sure my hubby knows how to; he's done more cooking over an open fire than about 90% of the population.

These thoughts are also an impetus to get started on my backyard wood-fired oven. I don't want to live without pizza. A world without pizza is not worth living in.
