The problems of ...You are right, we did miss that. The problems of trying to compile multiple people's lists into one list. Whoops! :) We went through and figured out what was supposed to be there instead. It was cheese making and basketry, and I've corrected the list.<br />If you're looking to start canning, I would suggest starting with water bath canning, because in general that is usually the easier type of canning to start with. For this you'll need canning jars (Ball's are usually the most common), and you'll need basic canning tools. <br />This will be a large pot, a canning rack at the very least, and I would recommend a canning jar lifter as well. All these things can be found separately, but you can also find canning kits which will include all three of these items, and depending on which one you get can include more canning utensils and even the canning jars.<br />My kit includes these three basic items, and the equipment was handed down to me through my mother, but I believe it comes from a Ball canning kit.<br />When your looking for items in canning, from jars to kits, Ball is generally a safe bet for the items you'll be looking for because if any company is synonymous with canning it would be them.<br />You can usually find the basic materials for canning in the kitchen area of stores like Walmart, Target, or Meijer. There will be a wider variety of products during autumn when people are preserving harvests from gardens.<br />Glad you liked the list and have fun trying out canning. If you have an questions feel free to ask. By no means am I an expert but if I can help I will.<br />~Sarafreedombounderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465981422604143026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984761329090119450.post-56076571971595857982013-11-18T18:19:51.793-08:002013-11-18T18:19:51.793-08:00You posted canning and blacksmithing twice. I'...You posted canning and blacksmithing twice. I'm not sure if that was an accident or if you are trying to emphasize them. If you don't mind sharing what type of canning kit do you use? I'm trying to learn how to can and I'm looking for a good one that will last a long time. I have quite a few of this skills that will hopefully make me useful if/when the situation should arise. I'm always improving them though and trying to learn more. Thank you for the list.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895361267281863191noreply@blogger.com
