Canning is a marvelous
way to preserve those fresh vegetables and fruits. There are several ways to can your foods and
some very simple recipes out there for people with little time
put into canning items.
When canning fruits and
vegetables we need to make sure that the jars and lids that will be used are
clean and ready. One way to do this is
to wash all the jars and lids and make them ready go. We will also need to pick a recipe that will
fit the needs of the items that we are canning.
Find recipes online and can also be recipes
passed down in your family.
Once the recipe has
been completed and the fruits and vegetables have been prepared and placed into
the jars the lids will need to be sealed on them to make sure they stay as
fresh as possible. This can be done two
ways. The jars can be placed into boiling
water to seal the lids tightly or they can be placed in a pressure cooker to
seal them.
When the jars are
sealed tightly we will need to let them cool before we store them. With jars sealed and ready we will be sure to
have the freshest canned goods in the months when fruits and vegetables are not
growing and will be delighted with the fresh taste that this technique will
preserve. Through canning we can also
don't allow fruits to spoil. Canned goods can have a very long shelf life
and most of the recipes will give information on how long the fruit or
vegetable will stay fresh and ready to eat once they have gone through the
canning process.
There are several
recipes available from canning beans to making and canning your very own
spaghetti sauces or making homemade salsa.
Another great reason to can is so that you will know exactly what
ingredients are in your fruits and vegetable when you consume these. Canning can also reassure us that there are
no chemicals placed into our food products to maintain them and they will be
all natural. Someone that is looking to
can some food items can find all the information that they will need along with
great recipes when searching online.
