Why preserve food?If you garden or buy seasonal produce in bulk, you can make your harvest last for months by learning age-old preservation methods.
Whether it's canning veggies, drying sunflower seeds, pickling cucumbers or making jams and jellies, there are simple techniques that can -- with a little investment of time -- make your dollar investment in a garden or a farm share really pay off.
Start with100 Mile Diet canning tips, then move on to theNational Center for Home Food Preservation, a free government-funded repository for science-based information about food preservation. It even includes a free, self-guided course for beginners.
Canning isn't the only technique our grandparents did way before anyone described it as being "green." For more ideas, see these7 Lost Household Arts.
