Lets begin canning!

To start canning there are a couples of things you will need depending on what you decided to can. These are just some pictures they are not the exact brands you need to buy:

To do fruits and jams you need a water bath canner.




To do vegetables and meat you need a pressure canner.




To do something that needs to stay dry like nuts, you need a vacuum sealer.




You will also need the jars you plan on putting the items you process in.




Also needed will be Mason Jar lifters. They will keep you from burning your hands.




There are lots of other handy gadgets but they are technically not needed. One that I like and use a lot is a large funnel. Its practical but not mandatory.
