Canning, Preserving and Freezing

Canning, Preserving and Freezing

When you have lots of good, fresh food that you want to save for later you can preserve it through canning or freezing. We have a selection of favorites that we like to make, and we keep a good supply on hand at all times! Canning lets you enjoy the bounty of your garden year round. It takes some equipment and time, but it’s not difficult to do.
How long will canned goods keep? The paddle steamer Bertrand sunk in the De Soto bend of the Missouri river in 1865. The wreck was found 100 years later and much of the cargo was still intact. There were many canned goods found and these were tested in 1974. The 109 year old canned goods were perfectly healthy yet (though probably not as tasty as they once were).
