Perfectly Preserved Podcast Jenny Gomes and Anna Cash

Looking to learn all you can about canning and food preservation? This week on the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we share opportunities for you to develop your canning craft through our online courses and other in-person opportunities. Like our podcast, these courses are all about teaching you safe and practical at-home canning practices to provide your family with wholesome food year-round. 



We each have our own unique canning course offerings for you to learn right from home. Anna shares about her two digital courses including the Basics Canning Course and Advanced Canning Course. These two courses cover all the bases with lessons on topics like water-bath canning and pressure canning to garden planning. 


Jenny goes into detail about two of the many courses she has. You’ll hear about her free Canning Basics Course and Steam Canning for Beginners. This steam canning course will allow you to harness the time-saving power of steam canning and confidently use your steam canner.  


We also discuss other ways to learn more about food preservation both in person and online.
