Canning safety can feel overwhelming, especially when you hear all the warnings and conflicting advice out there. But what if it’s actually much simpler than you think?
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the three things you absolutely must get right for canning safety so you can preserve food with confidence and peace of mind.
We’ll talk about:
- Why so many people feel afraid of canning
- The truth about botulism and real risk
- How pH determines whether you water bath or pressure can
- Why processing time matters more than you think
- The biggest mistakes to avoid (including unsafe methods still being taught today)
- How to confidently know your food is safe on the shelf
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?”—this episode will give you the clarity you need.
