Nature’s Bounty: Food Preservation Tips & Tricks

We’ll have you safely canning like a pro in no time!

Ever get confused by all the canning and food preservation information you read and hear? There is a lot of information that is great but some of it can be downright unsafe. Learn and ask questions about different types of canners, including the newer steam canners; which foods need to be canned by pressure, steam or boiling water; jars & lids; tips on making jams & jellies; why lemon juice is important when canning tomatoes & figs; determining if food is safe; and, tried and tested recipes.
