Canning 101: Safe Home Canning for Beginners
A full pantry is one of the great joys of homestead life. This free course walks you through home canning the safe way — the same tested methods recommended by the USDA and the National Center for Home Food Preservation.
You will learn which foods can go in a water-bath canner and which must be pressure canned, how to adjust for altitude, and how to tell a good seal from a jar that belongs in the trash. Each lesson links to the free canning calculators and pantry tracker on PGAMO Homestead Living.
“She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.” — Proverbs 31:16
