The September/October issue of Hobby Farm Magazine features everything you need to know about home canning in a special section called “Canning Simplified.”

Gardening season is still in full swing around here, but it won’t be long before it’s time to preserve the harvest by freezing, drying and canning.

If you’ve never canned before, or you feel like you need a refresher course, be sure to pick up a copy of the fall issue of Hobby Farm Magazine.

Inside the “True Country Living” magazine’s pages is a super-duper article called “Oh Yes You Can!” by Nancy Mann Jackson that includes everything you need to know about canning–including a quote from me on why I love the canning process.

Nancy builds the case for canning, details how to gather equipment and supplies, provides the steps for getting started and explains all the safety measures that guard against food poisoning. She’s even included recipes for hot salsa, quick pickles, and microwave apple butter.
