Canning is a food preservation method that involves putting foods in glass jars with metal lids, saturating them in boiling water to create a vacuum seal and destroying any dangerous microorganisms that could grow to a lethal amount. Canning is easy, but it's important that it's done properly. This is an amazing way to save money, reduce food waste, be more self sufficient and prepared and create good quality, customized food where you know exactly what you will be ingesting.
