Mixed Vegetables (canned)
Did you ever?
Did you ever open up a can or a bag of mixed vegetables and most of the bag was carrots? You had maybe 10 peas and 20 potatoes? I personally like my mixed vegetables to be equal. By home canning you can choose what ever fresh vegetables you want and put in as much or as little of each that you want. Sound appealing to you?
