Canning can feel intimidating, but we aim to turn you into a confident, capable canner. Here, we'll talk about the seven reasons we love canning (and why we think you will love it, too!).
Water bath canning is the best place for beginners to start, and that's what we are teaching you in this course. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's go over what the big picture of the canning process looks like.
You probably already have a lot of the canning tools and equipment in your kitchen, but we will walk you through the four specialty items that you may need to purchase before you get started.
The number one concern we hear from beginning canners is, "How do I make sure my food is safe to eat?" Luckily, every well-tested, reliable canning recipe has layers of safety built right in. In this video, we'll teach you what those layers of safety are and where to find safe canning recipes.
This is one of the most important steps to canning: preparing your space and tools. We'll talk you through how to make sure everything is clean and sanitized so that your canned salsa will be safe for months to come.
Salsa is a tomato-based canning recipe, which means it is right on the border of being acidic enough for water bath canning. So it is super important to stick to your recipe! We'll show you what you need for this recipe, talk about what kind of tomatoes work best, and tell you what small tweaks you can safely make to the ingredients list (that have been tested for safety!).
Surprisingly, this is the quickest part of the whole canning process: actually making the salsa! Let us show you how.
This is where it all comes together: actually canning and preserving the salsa. We'll walk you through how to fill your jars, check the headspace, and process them so that they can be stored at room temperature.
Make a final safety check: that the jar is sealed. Then we'll show you how to store your jars safely.
Salsa isn't just a dip! Let's talk about all the ways to use your salsa to easily whip up meals anytime.
