Canning and food production for the future

Gardening is not a new concept, many people still garden. Although canning is not as widespread as it once was with the older generation. Many of your ancestors until winter, canned foods in which they grew. This is because in winter they could not cultivate fruit, vegetables and feed their families.

Therefore, women would be present for a friend or relative back home and spend all day peeling, slicing, and canning the harvest from theirGardens. Usually things like zucchini and yellow squash were canned bread and butter pickles, pickles, beets and greens, potatoes, green beans, lettuce and tomatoes. This plant was all cans and stored for the winter.

Fruits such as peaches, pears, plums, grapes, apples were canned jellies or produced or preserved. All this has come from the country and were obtained with the use of glasses and a pressure cooker.

Canning usesmust be overcome, but many families begin to restore some of the old ways. Canning is one of them, this is due to the rising cost of food and transportation of food. Canning is an economical way to store fresh food to be eaten later.

The fruits or vegetables first step could be washed and peeled or cut into cubes or slices, in order to prepare for cooking and canning. Then it would be blanched or boiled vegetables in individual glasses. The vessels werethen placed in a large pot. The pressure cooker removes excess air from the glass, forming a seal with the glass removed from the suction cover.

The vessels were left in the pressure cooker until the pressure was released and the pressure cooker could be sure open. Once the pressure cooker was opened, the glasses were removed and examined to determine that they were properly sealed. The vessels were then dried, labeled and dated and placed in a basement or a cellar, whereis cool and dry.

The dating of food labels tell the age from year to year, so the family can enjoy first priority in the use of food and prepare meals.

The date also said the family had a period of leave in a box any longer. If food were a lot of years, then later the animals of the family can throw the old content of the pigs, or others. The glasses would be sterilized and reused for the next season of the preserves.
