Preserving food at home is one of the best things you can do for your family and health. Home food preservation cuts your grocery bill, increases your self-reliance, and fills your pantry with home cooked food.
Knowing how to safely preserve food at home is important. No matter where you live, you can preserve food at home in your kitchen.
If you're just beginning one of the easiest places to get started is with water bath canning. Learning how to make homemade jams and jellies at home will help you preserve your fruits without the tons of sugar store bought versions hold. Most of my jam and jelly recipes are low sugar variations and without store bought pectin, keeping your cost low.
