This section is intended to provide a basic overview of food preservation techniques that are commonly used on homesteads. However, it is important to note that there are many different methods of preservation and that further recommendations can be found in follow-up articles. It is crucial to always follow the instructions provided by your canner or to consult with your local extension office for guidance.

Therefore, it is recommended to only use methods that have been approved by the USDA to ensure the safety and health of your family.
