Canning and Preserving for Beginners

Canning and preserving food is an easy way to make your fresh food last so much longer.  You can reduce food waste, eat healthier, control what you eat, and save a ton of money!  This Canning and Preserving for Beginners Guide will show you everything you need to know to get started on the wonderful journey of making your food last all year long!

So why do I love canning?  To me it’s a simple way to preserve the harvest and garden bounty from my backyard.  I can take fresh fruits and seasonal vegetables, and turn them into satisfying jams, sauces, relishes and salsas that can be enjoyed all year long.  It seems canning has become a bit of a lost art, but it’s easier than you think!  There’s just something so satisfying about the entire process of preserving your own food.  As an added bonus, it tastes so much better, too!

Your own home garden can be an excellent source of fruits and vegetables to can and preserve.  But don’t rule out your local farmer’s market, fresh produce stands, or even your local grocery store.  Seasonal fruits and veggies can be purchased for rock bottom prices.  When you pair these awesome sales with canning and preserving, you can seriously stock your pantry, cupboards and freezer.  With just a little planning, you’ll be reaping the benefits all year long!

This guide to Canning and Preserving for Beginners will give you the easy step-by-step instructions you need to get started canning and preserving your own food.

Whether you’re preserving food from the garden or the store, get ready to save money and eat really well…
