Can you can that?

Not all foods are suitable for canning and some foods need handling with special care.

How canning works

Knowing how canning works allows us to make sure we have the best outcome in our canning process and also gives us a way to understand if everything worked the way it should have.

The history of canning

Canning is a method to preserve food by sealing it in glass containers and heating it up to destroy microorganisms that cause spoilage while preserving the food. This technique has been in use since the early 1800s.

Home canning

There is absolutely nothing better than home made canned goods. Now, imagine you cook in excess and there is some to preserve.

Preserving food

Food preserving was initially a survival skill and it has been used since people first learned to cook. Probably, cooking was done then as much for preserving food as for making food easier to digest and more palatable. Today, there is no need to worry about preserving food at home; it is just a way of keeping flavors at their best.
