HERE’S A LITTLE TASTE OF YOUR FREE BONUSES

Bonus 1: Annual Canning Calendar (Inside the Book)

As the seasons change, so do our ingredients and the flavors we crave. Embracing the rhythm of the year not only enhances your canning experience but also allows you to take advantage of the freshest meats and seasonal produce. Each season brings with it unique opportunities for canning, and understanding how to optimize your recipes for each time of year can make all the difference in your pantry.

Spring: Fresh Beginnings

Spring is a time of renewal and abundance. As the days grow longer and the weather warms, you’ll find yourself surrounded by fresh herbs and early vegetables. While meat may not be the star of the spring harvest, this season is perfect for canning meats that pair beautifully with those fresh flavors. Consider canning chicken or pork with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dill. These meats can be preserved in broth or as part of a savory stew, capturing the essence of spring.

Summer: A Bounty of Flavor

Summer is the height of the growing season, and it’s an ideal time to can meats that can be enjoyed all year round. This is when you might find yourself canning beef or venison, particularly if you have access to local farms or hunters. The warm weather allows for outdoor cooking and canning, making it a fun family activity.

Fall: Harvesting the Richness

As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, fall invites us to embrace hearty flavors. This is the perfect time for canning meats that bring warmth and comfort. Think about canning turkey or beef stew with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips. These ingredients not only preserve well but also create a satisfying meal that can be enjoyed during the colder months.

Winter: Storing for the Cold Months

Winter can be a challenging season for finding fresh ingredients, but it’s the perfect time to rely on your pantry. Canning during this time often means using meats that are hearty and filling. Consider canning ham or beef with robust flavors and ingredients that can stand up to the cold. Think about using ingredients like beans or lentils, which not only add nutrition but also create a satisfying meal.
