Both are usually done at different times in our lives with friends, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and our own children. Preserving the food we’ve grown provides an extra sense of satisfaction. The food source is commonly within eyeshot of our own back door or kitchen window, and much time is spent snapping, chopping, slicing, packing, and sealing with loved ones. When you can or preserve your harvest, you have control over your own food. You know how it was made and what ingredients were put into it. You’re also able to make the most of everything you’ve grown, keeping much of your bountiful crops from going to waste. Even if you’re preserving produce such as peaches and cherries grown by one of our local family orchards, you’re in complete control over what you eat. ## Canning is Safe and Economical [Canning](https://www.ifa.coop/167102/category/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies) can be a safe and economical way to preserve quality food at home, especially when you use tested recipes. We love the cherished recipes that are handed down through generations of family; ones that cannot be found anywhere today. However, when you’re not able to get your hands on a tested family recipe, we wanted to provide a safe resource. Whether you’re canning tomatoes in a variety of ways, pickling peppers, or making relish, salsa, jams or anything else, here is a list of tips, best practices, and links for many things you may consider preserving this summer.

Carefully select and wash fresh food 2. Peel fresh foods 3. Hot pack many foods 4. Add acids (lemon juice or vinegar) to some foods 5. Use acceptable [jars](https://www.ifa.coop/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies?sortBy=externalhitsort_desc&srchTyp=CATNAV&resultPage=12&attrFilterList=attr_Product+Type%3A%22Jar%22) and [self-sealing lids](https://www.ifa.coop/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies?sortBy=externalhitsort_desc&srchTyp=CATNAV&resultPage=12&attrFilterList=attr_Product+Type%3A%22Lid%22) - If you’re reusing jars, check them beforehand for cracks and chips - Never reuse lids and check the rings for dents - Properly clean and sanitize all jars (new or reused) and lids before canning 6. Process jars in a [boiling-water](https://www.ifa.coop/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies?sortBy=externalhitsort_desc&keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&resultPage=12&attrFilterList=attr_Product+Type%3A%22Canner%22) or [pressure canner](https://www.ifa.coop/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies?sortBy=externalhitsort_desc&resultPage=12&pageNo=0&srchTyp=CATNAV&keyWordTxt=Pressure) for the correct period of time - Select the proper processing time or canner pressure for the altitude where you live since water boils at lower temperatures as altitude increases - Using the processing time for canning food at sea level may result in spoilage if you live at altitudes of 1,000 feet or more 7. Use the proper equipment - Check your [pressure canners](https://www.ifa.coop/home-goods-decor/food-preservation-processing/canning-supplies?sortBy=externalhitsort_desc&resultPage=12&pageNo=0&srchTyp=CATNAV&keyWordTxt=Pressure) every year before use 8. Check the seals every time you open a jar. *Unsealed food can be harmful. * 9. Label all jars with the date so you know the age of the food 10. Always use safe, tested canning recipes - The Kerr or [Ball canning books](https://www.ballmasonjars.com/recipes?fdid=recipes), [Mrs. Wages](https://www.mrswages.com/recipes/) and [USU Extension](https://extension.usu.edu/preserve-the-harvest/) are all great resources 11. Enjoy your efforts! The final product is rewarding and well worth it.
