Hi Laura,
I just ordered my copy of this e-book and I can’t wait to try some of the canning procedures! For the very first time, in all my 51 years, I canned something just last week! It was my Homemade Salsa!! What FUN it was to hear all those lids go “pop” “pop” “pop” when they all sealed correctly!!
I remember when I was a kid and I used to help my Mom can tomatoes, or peaches, or Homemade Tomato Sauce…and hearing those lids POP all over the place! It was so much fun!
For a few years, I had asked my Mom to come stay with me for a while so she could teach me how to can. We never got around to doing that because she passed away last November of Lung Cancer.
I would like to challenge all of you on this site, to take EVERY opportunity that you can, to learn AS MUCH as you can from your Mothers, before it is too late! You never know when that time will come.
Thanks again Laura. I look forward to trying my hand at some of these recipes!! :)
Theresa says
Christi, I couldn’t agree more. I grew up without a mother and WISH I could learn this stuff more “hands on.” I LOVE this site and how the Lord led me here!!!
Sorry about your mothers passing…
Lyndsay says
I know it’s a year after the original post, but that is so true. My grandmother passed away unexpectedly, and I was left with a lot of “I wish I hads”. This is my first year canning, and I did it at my mom’s house, side by side in her kitchen. We canned in the water pot that my grandma used to use. You’ve got to do as much as you can when you can with the people you love!

This is the one I want to read. I would like to have fresh food yearround.
Jean says
Why does it still list a discount code if the discount code is invalid? :o/
Laura says
Eh, because I’m almost always behind in my work and a little bit scatter brained?! ;) Sorry about that. Nothin’ like fixing something four months late!! Eek! Thanks for pointing that out to me!

Eventually, when hubby and I have a little extra and I’m not working on buying a printer, I WILL own this ebook! =]

I was looking for a recipe for peach cobbler. I was directed to several different sites and NEVER found a recipe. GREAT WEBSITE!
Laura says
I don’t have that recipe featured on my blog, but it is within this Gardening and Preserving ebook.

Do you have any instructions on using a pressure canner? I am just starting out with canning and apparently the pressure canner is what works on flat top stoves…i can use it as a water bath, i believe. any tips?
Laura says
No, I’m sorry that I don’t. I use my water bath on my flat stove top and have not had any trouble. My pressure cooker, I’m a little afraid of. :)
Jen says
All the water bath pots I have seen say “not recommended for glass stove tops” is that what you have, adn have had no problems with it? I heard from someone to use my gas grill, but that scares me a little. If I can use my stovetop (flat glass or ceramic) I would be much more inclined to can.

Laura has a glass top and it has always worked for her! :)

I wish I could buy a hard copy of this. No source to get the ebook on. I hate to miss out!

Rebecca Bahl says
Am I missing something. I thought it was free today – the 19th- but it still says 7.95 and I don’t see a discount code to enter. Please help!
Maggielou says
Great freebie! So sorry I missed it. I am teaching canning classes at church & this would have been a great resource to show. Oh well, maybe next year. Thanks for all of the great info on your site!

I have been trying to add this to my cart to purchase but the add to cart button will not work. Please help?
Laura says
Sorry about that. I’ve got it fixed now. Try again! :)
