While we were researching canning techniques, we fell in love with the National Center for Home Food Preservation's website, run in cooperation with the University of Georgia and Alabama A&M University. Here you'll find tips on canning, pickling, fermenting, and freezing fruits and vegetables, as well as great recipes in which to use these foods. The site also includes helpful guides to growing fruits and vegetables, so you can make great preserves with produce straight from your own backyard.
