Beginner's Guide to Pressure Canning
Step-by-Step Instructions and Information to Get You Started
Does Pressure Canning Scare You?
It sure scared me in the beginning. When I finally managed to can my first jars of broth, I was afraid to feed them to my family!
Pressure canning can seem intimidating. My first batch of broth came out of the canner over 15 years ago and once I opened those first jars, I haven't looked back.
Learning shouldn't be intimidating. That's why I created The Beginner's Guide to Pressure Canning.Â

Hi, I'm Allison!
I started my homestead prepper journey over 15 years ago. It began in a community garden plot when we lived in student housing. We've since lived in rentals of all sizes before landing on our current homestead in North Idaho.
This journey has been a slow one, a steady one. It is a process of learning, making mistakes, and taking the next best step. At one point that best step was actually opening the jar of food I had pressure canned.
