Yes, you can! More and more people have discovered what grandma always knew: canning and preserving supply you with wholesome, tasty treats year-round. And this Homemade Living guide provides all the practical, hold-your-hand basics, along with plenty of step-by-step photos.

Learn about the necessary tools of the trade, crucial safety tips, and hot-water-bath processing and pressure canning. Discover the all-important sciences of salt and sugar and how to select the best possible ingredients, favoring seasonal, organic, and local options.
