Most of us who love canning and preserving also enjoy making as much of
our products as we can. You save money, it's fun and easy and you know
what is in there. That is why we are adding dry mixes and fun gifts in a
jar type recipes to the canning and preserving site. It's all about
making and preserving quality foods for our families.
Dry mixes you make yourself are not only economical but make
wonderful gifts any time of the year. Gifts in a jar are perfect for
having on hand to mix up yourself but especially for the holidays.
Canning & preserving food is not difficult but it does take time and
effort. And when you put that much time and energy, not to mention
money, into something you want it to turn out well. Here are the basics
for getting started with canning. From preparing to can to storing the
finished project – doing each step correctly will result in tasty, safe
food for your family.
Many people prefer freezing over canning for preserving food. It’s quick
and easy and retains the fresh crisp flavor for fruits and vegetables.
Less nutrients are lost when freezing foods and it’s less work when
working in small batches than canning.
Making your own mixes is a natural step for those of us who can and
preserve our own foods. But unlike canning or freezing, which require
special equipment such as canners or freezers, these recipes require
very little and can be stored anywhere.
These holiday pickled peppers are a beautiful addition to a holiday
table. They also make wonderful gifts. Give a jar of holiday pickled
peppers along with our
Peach & Apricot Jam.
