Hi Achternaam, What's your favorite part of canning? I LOVE being able to open a jar of vegetables that we grow right in our backyard. I love having jars of peaches, homemade applesauce, or tangy pickles right in my pantry ready anytime for that snack attack. But it’s more. It’s also the confidence of knowing that I have enough stored up to take care of my family. It is knowing exactly where that food had been and what hands have handled it. It is knowing that I am saving on our grocery bills! The more I learn, the less I have to buy. I’ve even canned venison that my hunters have provided for our family.
