I was wondering once you open the #10 can, can you divide the fruit into mason jars and use a foodsaver to suck the air out to make them last longer than the open can expiration date?partycrafterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15335202065704451364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947072584809471511.post-65588266514711990332013-02-08T12:13:37.881-08:002013-02-08T12:13:37.881-08:00Wow - thanks for pointing that out.

When you consider that fact that you will not throw out food because of spoilage than it makes even more sense to purchase freeze dried.
