Preparing to Preserve: Basic Canning Supplies for Beginners - Ep. 211

There is something very satisfying about growing your own food, for sure, and being able to walk out into the garden to pick your lunch or your dinner.

We’ll mostly focus on boiling-water canning and what can be safely canned in that manner, but since I jumped head first into pressure canning just a year after I started water-bath canning, we’ll touch on some of the differences in case, you too, are big on confidence but maybe a little shy on knowledge.
