FoodSaver. It's basically just a round thing with a vacuum port. You
put the lid on the mason jar, then put the sealer on that, and suck the
air out. Leaving you with a sealed mason jar that looks like it was
canned. Of course, you can't use it as a substitute for canning, as
you can't vacuum hot foods (they boil up then), so you'd still need to
refrigerate something that would likely have a bacteriological problem.
But, like you said, they'd be perfect for all of your dried veggies,
fruits, nuts, etc. etc., as well as for storing soups and such in the
'fridge.
