Canning the harvest should be a joyous and rewarding experience, but if you’re in over your head, it can be stressful and overwhelming, even dangerous.
Aspiring or novice canners shouldn’t wait for the so-called Harvest Season to get started. Midsummer is a great time to ease into the groove, work on your skills, figure out your game plan, and stock up on whatever gear and supplies you don’t have, without the pressure of a mountain of produce.
