This hands-on canning guide walks you from first rinse to stocked shelves. Chapter One sets up a safe station, explains pH and botulism in plain language, and shows when to use a water bath or a pressure canner. You’ll learn headspace rules, tomato acidification, and clean rim habits that set seals on the first try.
Chapter Two delivers two complete playbooks. You’ll process a high-acid product in a water bath and a low-acid vegetable under pressure, with venting, steady-heat control, altitude changes, and siphoning prevention. Packed examples make timing and pack styles simple.
Chapter Three handles the finish. Confirm seals, label and log, store in cool darkness, and know when to reprocess or discard. You’ll set a pantry rotation plan, care for gaskets and gauges, and map a harvest calendar so peak weeks feel calm.
Built for audio and print, the prose is plain, the steps are clean, and the safety notes are clear. Use it as your bench-side manual all season.
