Put Up the Best Food on the Planet!
A Garden full of goodies will last you through the next three seasons when you ‘Put Up’ your Produce by canning the absolute freshest fruit and veggies that are now ripening for this year’s Harvest!
If you have a Garden, then you know just how wonderful it is to can your own treasures. It is a process to be proud of along with knowing it’s the best quality of food available to you. Right out of your Garden! It just doesn’t get any better than this!
Next best is food from your local Farmer’s Market. The next few weeks will yield the most amazing array of produce imaginable! This can inspire the most undomesticated among us to pick up a pressure cooker and learn how to can food for our pantry.
It takes a few hours to sterilize the containers, prepare the produce, and then process the jars in the pressure cooker or canning pot. The safety and quality of this food is superior to other preservation methods with preserving more nutrients. Dehydration and vacuum sealing are both excellent choices as well, but there’s nothing quite as satisfying as opening the glass jars of the food you’ve grown and canned for a hearty meal when fresh produce is no longer available.
There are some good videos online that will walk you through the steps, including assistance from the pro, Martha Stewart. She’s already done some tomatoes this year.
You can locate the freshest pickling spices from our Kaylx affiliate on their website. Sea Salt will provide incredible flavor and you’ll notice a difference when you use fresh spices to can with this year.
