Are you afraid of a pressure cooker? What if the thing blows up?
They are quite intimidating with all those latches, that ominous gauge, and that hissing steam vent.
Being able to preserve food is a really useful skill. And it's fun! There's nothing nicer to walk into the pantry and know exactly what is in your food... and knowing that you grew it and did it all yourself!! Talk about a sense of accomplishment!!
I do have an extra freezer, but with my commitment to trying to get off the grid, that option is going to go by the wayside soon. But, for you, maybe you are scared of a power outage, want to get rid of unnecessary energy hogs, or any other reason that you may have. (And I would love to hear about your reasons in the comments below!)
I recently came across a WONDERFUL set of beginner canning lessons by Kendra Lynne. In At Home Canning For Beginners and Beyond, Kendra Lynne shows you safe and easy methods of canning at home, and demonstrates everything you need to know to start water bath canning and pressure canning in your very own kitchen.
Whether you're completely new to the world of canning, or you need a little push to break out of your comfort zone, Kendra encourages you to have fun with your canner by demonstrating how to put up a variety of foods and meals for your family to enjoy!
Here is a list of what Kendra will show you
- Apple Jelly
- Applesauce
- Blueberry Pie Filling
- Grape Juice
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Green Beans
- Dried Beans
- Ground Beef
- Chicken
- Chile Con Carne
- Chicken Soup
- Beef Stew
The information is really empowering for those that have not done any canning before.
