Читать книгу Canning & Preserving For Dummies - Amelia Jeanroy - Страница 13

Although home-canning and home-preserving have skipped one or two generations, one thing is certain: They are on the rise. Men and women of all ages practice the art of home-canning. It no longer matters whether you live in the country or in the city or if you grow your own food. Fresh ingredients are available just about everywhere. Farmer’s markets are commonplace in many cities and towns, making it easy to find the perfect foods to preserve for an affordable price.

Exact statistics regarding home-canning vary, but today, most home-canned products are used in the home where they’re produced. In addition, a rising number of people are committed to eating locally, and these folks want to know what is in the foods they eat. By preserving their own foods, they can find the freshest food available and control what goes in their food.
