Yes I have been MIA for a while I apologize for that. Though I'm not going to sit here and give excuses on why, I'm just going to get into the flow of things again. Soooooo:
Today I'm going to be talking about "Canning"
What is canning? You ask ...
Well, it's when food is processed in jars at extremely high temperatures for a long period of time, the heat kills microorganisms and inactivates enzymes that could cause the food to spoil. The heating process also drives air from the jar, creating a vacuum seal as the food cools. This prevents air, and the microorganisms it contains, from entering the jar re-contaminating the food.
My family and I are going to be moving in a little over a week to our very own house yes folks we are moving forward in this world. We are so excited for this it's been a long time coming. Anyways back to what I was talking about. I'd like to be able to make things ahead of time to help save time later on when making things to eat for my family & to also save money. We are going to be starting a garden and if I have too much of one thing, I can "can" it to use for when that item isn't in season.
I'm very excited about this it can be overwhelming thinking about it but I know once I get the hang of it, it will all be worth it in the long run.
