Preserving Made Simple – The Bounty

August 1, 2012 9 Comments

 WAIT!  Don’t run away!  It is not as hard as the pictures make it look.  Don’t believe the horror stories of hot steam, back-breaking work, and expensive appliances. Would you like to follow along as we walk through canning and preserving the bounty God has given us?

I will show you HOW easy, enjoyable, and rewarding this process can be.

To start us off – A few pictures that my 14-year-old daughter took when I was exercising one afternoon.  She and her brother worked together to get some beans canned, and they are beautifully lining my shelves for the winter.

Really – At least consider this as something new to try.  Give it a whirl this summer.  Time?  It can be done in between everything you do – you are not bound to the kitchen.

Ok – here we go..

Pictures first – details later.

      Mindy,
          Do you can as well?  Freezing is another alternative to preserving and saving foods.  Thanks for stopping by and commenting.  :)

    Just recently mastered canning jams now I am ready to move on to veggies.  Can’t wait for more details.

      The veggies seem to be easier than the jams!  You are going to LOVE the simplicity of the process!

    I always think it looks so pretty to have all those jars lined up. I’ve done it a couple of times, but never stuck with it. Not sure why.

    I love canning, but only a few vegetables and fruits that my family showed me how to do.  We water bath can, do you pressure can?

      Hi Laura!  We water bath and pressure can.  Next week, I will post pictures of the step by step process for each.  So great to hear of local friends that try their hands at canning and preserving also.  Hope you are well my friend!
