Why People Are Canning Again

A skill as old as civilization — and more relevant today than it's been in decades.

Why People Are Canning Again
🌿

Know What’s in Your Food

No preservatives, no excess sodium, no mystery ingredients. You control what goes in every jar.

💰

Beat Rising Grocery Prices

A flat of garden tomatoes yields jars of pasta sauce for pennies. Canning is the original budget food strategy.

🏡

Extend Your Harvest

Peak-season abundance becomes winter pantry staples. Beans, tomatoes, pickles, jams — all year long.

📖

A Tradition Worth Keeping

Families have preserved food for millennia. Home canning connects you to that lineage and passes it forward.


Getting Started with Home Canning

New to canning? Here’s the path.

01

Choose Your Method

Water bath for jams, pickles, and tomatoes. Pressure canning for vegetables, meat, and low-acid foods.

02

Gather Equipment

Quality jars, lids, a canning tool kit, and the right canner or pot. A starter kit gets you there fast.

03

Follow Tested Recipes

The Ball Blue Book and Mrs. Wages guides are the trusted starting points. Never improvise with acidity levels.

04

Inspect Before You Eat

Always check seals, appearance, and smell before opening. When in doubt, throw it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Water bath canning uses boiling water (212°F) and is safe only for high-acid foods like fruit, jams, jellies, pickles, and tomatoes with added acid. Pressure canning reaches temperatures of 240°F or higher, which is required to safely process low-acid foods like vegetables, meats, and beans. Using water bath canning for low-acid foods is a food safety risk.

Standard Ball and Superb flat lids with sealing compound are designed for single use only — the sealing compound compresses during processing and cannot reliably reseal. Tattler reusable lids are designed to be reused and are available in both regular and wide mouth sizes. Bands (rings) can be reused as long as they are not rusted or warped.

Jar size depends on what you are canning and how your household uses it. Pint jars work well for most vegetables, pickles, and sauces. Quart jars are popular for tomatoes, green beans, and fruits. Jelly jars (4 oz and 8 oz) are standard for jams, jellies, and preserves. Wide mouth jars are easier to fill and clean for chunky products.

Not necessarily, but commercial pectin (Ball Fruit Jell, Sure-Jell) gives more predictable results and shorter cooking times. Some fruits are naturally high in pectin and will gel on their own. Low-sugar and no-sugar pectin products are available for those who prefer less sweetener.

The Ball Blue Book is the most widely recommended starting point — it covers both water bath and pressure canning with clear instructions and a wide range of tested recipes. The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving is a good next step for those who want more variety and depth.

Ohio Stoneware crocks are used for fermenting vegetables (sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles), brining meats, and storing dry goods. They are made in the USA from high-quality stoneware and come in sizes from 1 to 10 gallons. Matching preserving covers, weights, and wooden lids are available separately.
