This video follows a learner's journey into the world of food preservation, specifically focusing on canning. It features an expert home economist who teaches the basics of canning, from sweet spreads to more complex techniques, reigniting a nostalgic craft for a new generation.

Marge Braker, a retired home economics teacher, and her friend Harriet Fassenfest, author of A Householder’s Guide to the Universe, share their enthusiasm for canning. Acknowledging that it’s common for people new to food preservation to be somewhat fearful about learning how to can, it’s an art that can easily be learned. Learning how to can fresh foods opens up a world of possibilities and as they show in this short video, is fun to do.
