But just wait till next year. A friend has just brought me back a pressure canner from the States and Mr Snoop is under very strict orders that I expect space to be found and shelves to be mounted for all my jars.

I never thought about my batch cooking with gluts as preserving, but I suddenly realised it essentially is, so:-

Lasagne (not so much hidden vegetable, as "OMG! It's a vegetable ambush!!!") 3 x large frozen
Dauphinoise potatoes, 6 x large, 1 x party size frozen
Pasta sauce, 8 x small portions, frozen
Chorizo pasta, 4 x portions, frozen
Herb butters - thyme, parsely, mint and sage - all rolled, cut into disks and frozen.
Runner beans, blanched and sliced, 6 x 2 portion bags, frozen
French beans, blanched and chopped, 5 x 2 portion bags, frozen.

I LOVE the feeling of a full store cupboard. We bought a new freezer... *eyeroll
