Chapter 1 - Canning and Preserving
For many, many decades, cooks have been happily putting up food using tried and true methods of preservation perfected in the process of canning. Throughout the years, the glass mason jar—with its metal lid and screw-on ring closure—has been a staple of the canning process.
