Canning Supplies

With many of our gardens getting ready to reap the fruits of our labor, many of us will be looking at stocking our pantries with these items.  Canning is a method of preserving food in which the food contents are processed and sealed in an airtight container.  There are two home canning methods – Waterbath Canning and Pressure Canning.  Waterbath Canning is recommended for preserving tomatoes, salsa, jellies, jams, fruits and other high-acid foods.  Pressure Canning is the preferred method for meats, poultry, vegetables, chili, fish and other low acid foods.  No matter which method that you use, we have all of the items that you need in our housewares department.  We stock a variety of jars, lids, sealing rings, and replacement gaskets.  We also have pressure cookers, gauges, pots, and everything else needed to meet your canning needs.  Swing by housewares to see our selection!!
