While living in Bulgaria (in the country) canning was a normal way of storing food,along with salting and smoking. we were shown
and practiced these methods of preserving.
Canning was done with jars,using a large pan on a tripod over a small fire. No pressure cookers, To these families this is a way of
life. nothing technical or expensive needed.

Hi bjm, bdg, is there any chance of a quick how too on that subject?
My knowledge goes as far as boiling the stuff in the jar in the pan then when its boiling itself you wop the lid on....

Is that right?
anybody got a tutorial or any sort of step by step?

The pressure cooker way seems a bit more difficult rather than the open pan way...
