I feel like canning food today. I just opened the last jar of vegetarian lentil soup, I love the homemade but not the store bought, store bought sucks!
Do you home can food?
I intend to get off the grid with power and I want to grow and home can most of my food.
The garden is looking good.

Not exactly worth it, to can l will need quantity at a time,can rarely buy quantity in 1 go.

Plants take care of themselves, I sow the seed and give water and they do the rest

How do you can food in your home? We do not have it here but rely on canning factories then we buy it in the grocery.

I have a pressure canner, I grow the food, clean it, pack into clean jars with lids and process it in the pressure canner.

One day I am sure to be teaching this, when people are sick of getting sick from eating whatever is in the canned foods.

that's because in stores, they put a lot of preservatives.

I've never canned food. I seem to remember my grandma doing it, but I never helped if she did.

We call it bottling in Australia. When I first heard canning I thought it meant putting things in cans or tins. It would be good to go off grid I think.
