Canning can be a great way to preserve seasonal vegetables and fruits, but you got to have the right gear (such as our tested-and-recommended pressure canner).
Canning is the perfect way to preserve the bounty of the growing season, whether from a home garden or the farmers market. While many foods can be preserved by freezing, that food is at risk from, say, a power outage or eventual freezer burn. Home canned goods can last for at least a year before quality begins to degrade . And they’re convenient to have on hand since they don’t need to be thawed—just heat and eat.
While water bath canning is popular for pickles and other acidic foods, pressure canning opens up a whole new world of things that can be preserved, including meats. It does, however, have some special requirements—including the necessary gear.While pressure canning may seem intimidating, it’s actually not that complicated. And, aside from a pressure canner, the equipment is inexpensive and easy to find. Many grocery stores even carry the essentials, and more can be found online.
The gold standard for canning information is the National Center for Home Food Preservation, usually referred to as the NCHFP. Anything found on theis researched and tested, from methods to recipes. Ball, the company that has been making canning jars since 1884, is also a great source for. Besides the website, Ball publishes canning books regularly, with new recipes and updated safety information.
While it seems tempting to browse through old canning books, our knowledge about pathogens and safe canning practices has progressed rapidly, making old recipes less reliable.This is one of the techniques that has changed over time, so it’s important to read current instructions and follow them. Depending on the type of canning, it may be sufficient to wash the jars in the dishwasher. For hot-pack canning, jars are typically boiled in the canner then removed one-by-one for filling.
