Is home canning worth it?

Is home canning worth it?

Canning your own food is definitely less expensive than buying cans at the store or buying other food storage options like dehydrated or freeze-dried foods. By canning food at home, you'll be able to save a lot of money that you would spend on the same kind of food at the store. The same goes for food allergies.

Do I need special equipment for canning?

REMEMBER: If you are canning low-acid foods such as vegetables, broth, and meats, you WILL need a pressure canner. However, if you are canning high acid foods like jams and jellies, fruits (like canning peaches), applesauce, pickles, etc., you can use safely and confidently water-bath canning.
