Can It!, from the editors of Hobby Farm Homes, gives readers a contemporary perspective on this favorite, traditional kitchen art. As the "eat local" movement sweeps the country, so too does the popularity of canning and preserving the harvest from our own gardens and hobby farms. Filled with nearly 200 full-color photographs and illustrations, here is a detailed beginner's guide that takes the reader step-by-step through the process of canning fruits and vegetables, emphasizing cost saving, sustainability, and food safety. From canning tomatoes and squash to preparing homemade salsas, relishes, and jellies, this book simplifies the processes so that even modern, busy people can find time to do it themselves. The book begins with a chapter on preparing and planning, helping you decide which methods are right for you and figure out what produce you like enough to take the time to preserve. The methods discussed include freezing, flash freezing, water bath canning, and pressure canning.
