Alright. In between all the studying I'm doing for school, I'm also studying how to can. I've got kids at home, I can't go pumping them full of cooties - that's Preschool's job.
Here's a How-To round up of awesome links:
USDA's Canning Page - Pretty much the bible of bacterial murder and safe canning practices.
Tigress in a Jam provides a tidy little how-to on canning.
Tigress in A Jam - Botulism (et al) can't survive in acidic environments (meaning a PH of 4.7 or lower). For some veggies, this is no problem, for things like carrots, this is. Read all about overcoming that obstacle here.
Another Great Post from Laundry, etc. on dealing with tomatoes, which ride that acidic cusp of 4.7/4.6 - with recipes for tomato puree and jelly.
A just my speed idiots guide to canning tomatoes, from August Can Jam.
But HERE is what I've got my sights set on: a Tomato Butter, also by August Can Jam.
