Manual Vacuum Bagging

As my canning comes near a close, I don't want to leave the veggies without sharing this neat trick. 

 

Place cooled blanched veggies in bag.

 

"Zip" bag almost closed. Insert a straw as shown.






Exhale completely and then suck on the straw until you have a "vacuum" bag being careful to pull out the straw and zip the rest of the way simultaneously. 

Pretty neat, huh?
