   FreshPreserving.com offers the following helpful info about canning:

   "Canning is really one step beyond cooking. It is a method that applies heat to food in a closed glass home canning jar to stop the natural spoilage that would otherwise take place, and removes air from the jar to create a seal. There are two home canning methods - Waterbath Canning and Pressure Canning.
   The type of food you want to preserve will determine which method you will use for safe and great tasting results. We will walk you through the 3 simple steps for Waterbath Canning, which is the best place to start for beginners. It’s as easy as boiling water!"
