On this week’s episode of Perfectly Preserved, we’re diving into the history of food preservation. With so much noise around what’s safe and what’s not, we’re stepping in to share how canning has evolved and what canning recommendations have stood the test of time.

Our discussion will turn you into the canning history buff you’ve always wanted to be. We talk about the invention of the mason jar, canning practices throughout WWI and WWII, and how industrial canning came to be. You’ll also learn about Amish canning practices, the USDA’s recommendations from the early 1900s and the history of pressure canning. 

We hope this episode gives you the knowledge you need to sift through misinformation and the safe canning recommendations that have served us for over 100 years.
