About Simply Canning

Sharon Peterson, the woman behind Simply Canning, began her canning journey for the same reason many of us have; gardening and home preserving food proved to be a great way to provide nutritious, simple, delicious meals and provides an alternative to the many preservative-laden commercial products found on the shelf of the local mega markets.

Simply Canning is a great resource for information on canning safety, recipes, canning tips, how-to’s, and product reviews. The information is valid for newbie & veteran canners. The articles are easy to read and understand; ‘it’s like being taught canning techniques by your best friend.’

We think some of these articles are really useful!

• Canning Safety
• How to Can with a Pressure Canner
• Pressure Canning Soup
• Canning Smoked Fish
• Canning Meat

We especially like these recipes from Sharon.

• How to Pressure Can Winter Squash
• Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler

This Canning Quick Start is free and is a great place to start if you don’t know where to begin. But even more importantly she released the second edition of her Simply Canning Book!
