For Freezing Food

• quart freezer bags
• gallon freezer bags
• sharpies
• parchment paper
• straws
• sheet pan
• strainer/colander
• large pot – I recommend a 6 quart if you only have a small garden and don’t plan to preserve a lot. If you plan on freezing large amounts of food at once, I recommend an 8 quart or a 10-quart pot.
• bag holder for freezer bags
• freezer containers
