This episode is all about canning. I discuss the differences between water bath and pressure canning and how you can get started canning today! I've included the basic supplies and accessories you will need to get started on your canning journey. I know that if I can do it, anyone can!

Canning is another method of food preservation and will allow you to store food for long periods of time. Like freeze drying and dehydrating, the food you process in your canners can be added to your food storage.
