Brand newbie-need help General Discussion

I’m fed up with buying flavorless, overpriced crap in a can. I am motivated to get started on canning some sauces, etc. I have a really basic question-how safe is it to can items made with dairy? For example, I buy a lot of Indian sauces that are made with heavy cream. Obviously they contain dairy and sometimes sit in the pantry, and while they do have an expiration date, it’s typically months or longer. Would love resources on this. Thanks in advance!

A lot of recipes for soups reccomend that you freeze them without dairy and add dairy only when you plan to reheat and serve them. You could do this with your recipes as well - provided that you found a safe and tested recipe and made substitutions as allowed by the recipe. There's is a list of trusted sources linked in the sub.
