Like how many pineapples do I need, How long to cook, how ripe should the pineapples be? How much sugar should I add? Hint: not much! Pineapple jam is sweet, delicious, and has a wonderful aroma. Give this one a try folks, and don't be afraid to add your own special touch.

One of the tastiest things you can is stew, it tastes great days or months after canning. Watch as a big batch of venison stew is canned by Carolyne from homesteadingfamily.com. Carrots, potatoes, onions, and venison with a dash of salt is all you need for the basics of this recipe. About a level teaspoon added on top after all the other ingredients are added is sufficient. Add your favorite herbs and spices to taste.
Carolyne goes over some basics of pressure canning in a simple and easy to remember style. This is a great video to watch for beginner canners.
