Safe and tested canning resources are a must in my household. I want to ensure I am providing food that is safe for my family to eat. When I first started looking into preserving the harvest coming out of my garden I did a tremendous amount of research. I wanted to make sure what I was doing was safe. There are a lot of recipes on the internet that are not safe to can. When you are new to preserving food this can be very overwhelming. If you are new to the world of canning I wanted to provide you with information on safe and tested canning resources so it is not so overwhelming to get started.
