Great thread, OP.

This if my first year of canning. I can't believe how easy it is!

To those concerned with spoilage, here's my advice (and I researched the heck out of this before I ever attempted it): the key to success is make sure everything is sanitary. Don't re-use lids, although it is okay to re-use bands. Sterilize everything in the hot water bath, including lids and bands. Never touch the part of the band that seals with the jar and always wipe the rim of jars after filling.  So far, this has worked for me.

Now to get back to those dill pickles I've been working on this morning!

You CAN re-use certain types of lids that are designed just for re-use. I just posted a link in the post above for the Tattlers I like to use!  :)

Original Message last year i canned for the first time. wow, i was nervous.

this year, i'm doing better. i have been canning like mad.

if you'd like, tell us your how's and why's. learning to preserve food is one of the most important skills a person can learn.

if you have a picture of your preserved foods uploaded, let me know and i'll post it for you.

a good source for shtf or urban farming...
