Are there any resources on how to do this? I'm interested, but I have no idea where to start.
LA: We will see what we can do.

there are tons of pages on the internet about canning, and info through your local extension.
i do a lot of canning, specifically of stuff i get at the farmer's market in season. so when i want to make sauce or soup in the middle of winter i can still make it out of local ingredients.
in fact, i whipped up two big batches of stock, chicken and beef/lamb yesterday from all local stuff and am going to get on canning the stuff later today.

canning is a great way to preserve and enhance taste too

Canning is something I've been thinking about getting into also. My husband will probably think I'm nuts since he's only minimally green, but that's fine. We have a pretty decent garden and while giving away excess works, it would be nice to have my own use for it too.

Oh thanks for this! I love canning and making jams, etc. I've been doing this for a few years now and all I did was research online when I wanted to do something new. I'm 25 and never had any exposure to this type of thing before, but food just tastes so much better this way and it's become one of my favorite things to do.

I have a huge mango tree and just planted several other fruit trees. I never thought of canning or perserving. I freeze some stuff to make shakes but this open a new door.
It is no doubt a food war out there. We need a food sharing system that is effective.
I harvest 1800 gallons of rain water at a clip for my trees. Now that's green!
The Huffington post rules!! What a site. The winds of change are blowing hard. Peace everyone!!

it takes me 1 hour to make a serving of salsa for two (for spaguetti) and 3 hours to make 8 or 9 servings for two and cann them. So canning is also energy efficient and time efficient.
