This post will bust some bogus canning advice I read on a fairly popular-but totally wrong- blog. Watch the video for some good advice for beginning canning!
This video will explain a blog post I read online (no, I won’t tell you where, or on what blog) that gave some downright terrible advice that I think would really derail a new canner. It also might make a seasoned, knowledgable canner furious; so if you like getting heated, enjoy!
There’s so much info out there for a newbie to sift through- good info, not so good info- that I took my full-fledged canning course and sliced off the very base, the foundation, and made it available for a bargain price of just $19.
I’m so excited to introduce Canning Foundations!
If you are a brand new, never done it before canner, you have TONS of resources out there to choose from- some of it is the garbage I read and refuted in my video above.
In Canning Foundations, one whole video walks you through the USDA website (that website is admittedly dated and confusing) to show you where to go to get SCIENTIFIC and UP TO DATE info….not nonsense from some well meaning blog or friend.
Another video is devoted to explaining the importance of using NEW lids; it seems like a small thing but there are people- bloggers, casual canners- out there who say you can use used lids- and in that video I explain and SHOW you why you cannot.
Here’s the Canning Foundations mini-course curriculum
That’s a TON of information in short, high value lessons.
In the Prepping Pots video, I show you HOW to get started at the stove- what pot goes where, what to start boiling when, so that the canning process goes smoothly.
The info in Canning Foundations applies to both water bath canning and steam canning, AND would have you well on your way to pressure canning as well.
An online course is like a digital book of information you get to access any time- it has videos, printable PDFs, no homework, no deadlines, and no start or end date. If you’re not sure about what an online course would LOOK like, here’s a preview:
