Canning Club
Your Step by Step Guide to Home Preserving
If you're like most people, the idea of canning scares you.
Images of food poisoning and exploding canners -- making you think, "Canning is too complicated."
Listen... if this suburb girl could figure it out, so can you.
And when you do...watch out!
Quarts of tomatoes start lining your shelves. Jars of jam and syrup make your pancakes smolder. Pickled scapes, peppers, cukes -- pretty soon you've got a huge pantry to feed you all winter.
But it's the feeling of accomplishment and confidence when you one day find yourself teaching another newbie how to do it -- there ain't nothing quite like it.
Still... canning can be intimidating. I remember exactly how that feels.
So where do you start?
In this course, I walk you through the basic overview of canning, what you need to know, equipment to buy, when to use the pressure cooker, what jars to get.... And it's all in the right sequence so you learn little by little, without feeling overwhelmed.
Then each month, we add a new canning recipe and video chapter, so you get exposed to the key basic recipes that build your confidence so you can start experimenting on your own.
Each monthly canning recipe video also includes access to an illustrated PDF guide for each recipe that you can reference while you try it yourself.
You'll be a canning ninja before you know it. It just takes a first step.
