You have produce on the counter and a week to deal with it. This is the shortest honest path from there to a sealed jar you trust.
Water Bath Canning
The method that covers most of a first harvest, the pots that do it well, and the hard line on what it can never make safe.
Pressure Canning
The second purchase, and the only method that makes beans, corn, carrots and meat safe to store on a shelf.

Canning Tools & Kits
Four tools do almost all the work. This is which ones, which kits are worth it, and the one measurement to take before you buy a canner.
Canning Safety
The questions that stop people starting, answered directly, with the primary source next to every claim so you can check us.
