Canning

The majority of our homesteading efforts have been learning to grow what we eat in order to become as self-sufficient as possible by building our stores. Naturally, that means canning in all its glory, water bath canning, steam canning, and pressure canning to extend the shelf-life of all the bounty.

Ultimately, the investment in the cookware, tools, and canning essentials pay for themselves in no time flat. All my favorites & then some 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

50 qt stockpot!

Love multi-purpose equipment? I do, and this Harvest (Victorio) canner is definitely one that does triple duty. Use this 20 qt capacity canner for water bath canning, steam canning, & as a stockpot.
