What Can You Can At Home
Growing up my mom canned and preserved and so did our neighbors. It was just normal to me. I was always in awe of the canning done by an older lady from church. She had shelves and shelves of canned produce of every kind. Blackberries, carrots, beans, jams, jellies, tomato sauce and so much more.
Old Fashioned Canning Recipes
Whether you grew up on a farm or the skill of preserving was handed down to you or you value homegrown and handmade. Canning isn’t so old fashioned anymore.
It’s not uncommon in the summertime to see people buying flats of tomatoes from the farmers market to make homemade salsa or tomato sauce. Below you will find tons of old fashioned, new and inspiring canning recipes to try.
Types of Canning
There are several different ways to can. Steam canning, water bath canning and pressure canning (not to be confused with pressure cooking). We are going to focus on water bath canning and pressure canning recipes.
Water Bath Canning
Water bath canning essentially is a boiling water bath for mason canning jars. You place your prefilled jars in a water bath canner filled with water and cook to a predetermined time which differs between recipes. This seals the jars.
It is important to note that only high acidic foods can be water bath canned. For example pickles, tomatoes and applesauce can be water bath canned.
Pressure Canning
Pressure canning is a controlled process used for preserving food with a pressure canner. Pressure canning is the only safe method for low acidic foods like meats, meals in a jar, carrots and potatoes.
