Have you heard about Canning Across America?
It is a very cool new informational website with tons of canning info! I am actually a little late in posting this because the big “Kick-off” was three weeks ago…But the mission is still going strong — and will be going strong all year long.
Here is the mission statement for this group:
“Canning Across America is a nationwide, ad hoc collective of cooks, gardeners and food lovers committed to the revival of the lost art of “putting up” food. Our goal is to promote safe food preservation and the joys of community building through food. The weekend of Aug. 29-30 is our kickoff, with how-to classes, demos and home canning parties in cities around the country. Think of us as a one-stop resource for events, recipes, inspiration and safety how-to on anything under the canning, preserving and pickling umbrella that will continue throughout the year. Won’t you join us?”
You can bet I will be joining them as I am doing my own canning this fall.
Check out their website for more great information!

Excellent! We’re of the opinion that everyone should try preserving their own food. That said, boy, am I glad we’re done for the season. Canning is exhausting work! :>
Thanks for the link! It’s good to have a site for reference.
now THIS is information we need! Thank you for presenting this.
Cheers,
Andrew
Teresa-
You are right. Canning can be exhausting…but boy when you open that jar later…pure heaven. Right?
Andrew-
Thanks so much for stopping by! Glad you liked the post.
I love all the garden things you make out of reclaimed wood. So very cool!
