Excerpt from p. 4
Nearly all food requires some type of preservation treatment to maintain its quality and safety, so that it may be enjoyed long after harvesting or purchasing. Home canning, also referred to as processing, preserving, and jarring, allows you to store many perishable foods on your pantry shelf for up to one year. Understanding how home canning prevents the natural occurrence of food deterioration caused by microorganisms is the basis to achieving a successful outcome, so that you can proudly share the foods you preserve with your friends and family.
