Spring is right around the corner, and summer gardens will burst with produce in no time. You can enjoy your summer flavors year-round by preserving your fresh produce now. 
 

Home food preservation continues to be extremely popular, whether due to increased food costs, the desire to know what is going into your food, or because it benefits the environment by reducing one’s carbon footprint. There are many ways to preserve food at home, including freezing, drying, fermenting, and canning.
