Water Bath Canning and Preserving Cookbook

A Guide To Using The Water Bath Canning Method To Freshly Preserve Pickled Vegetables, Jams, Jellies, and More 

High acid foods are processed using the water bath canning method. If done correctly, it will enable you to preserve fruit, juices, jams, jellies, and pickles on a pantry shelf at room temperature without spoiling. 

Water bath canning has been used for food preservation for many years. Its original purpose was to preserve food for the armed forces. After becoming accustomed to eating canned food, soldiers continued to do so after returning home. Even now, people are being urged by the government to can their own food, as it was during WWII. You can bet that our grandparents all preserved their own food in cans. However, due to the ease with which canned foods are now accessible, we have mostly forgotten how to properly employ water bath canning (alongside the many skills our grandparents knew).

Nonetheless, all hope is not lost. Many people are picking up the skill of canning in order to become more self-sufficient. Canning in a water bath is fantastic. The simplest way to learn how to can, in my opinion, is with a water bath canner. Even if you have to purchase your canner brand-new and are unable to find one for $1 at a yard sale, it is less daunting than pressure canning and has a lower startup cost.
