Teaching Food Preservation in a Way that Even Beginners Can Fill Their Pantry.

Here at Simply Canning, we emphasize using up-to-date, tested, safe canning methods. Doing it right doesn’t mean hard. Our goal is to get you started.

I am Sharon Peterson, author of Simply Canning Guide and teacher of food preservation classes at Simply Canning School.

SimplyCanning.com is filled with free recipes, tips and home food preservation advice and articles. For the more fearful we’ve got even more resources to help you get started.

Our online video classes are for people who know they want to learn food preservation and have a full pantry but they don’t know where to start.

Or worse yet they are terrified to start!

It doesn’t have to be that hard.  
Canning information should not be:

  • confusing
  • contradicting
  • vague
  • fear-inducing!
The complete canning bundle with videos and recipes available on multiple devices.

Video courses, ebooks, a spiral bound canning guide, canning labels, even t-shirts just for fun.

Click here to learn more about our video tutorials and full courses that will help you get started today.   Find out how easy home food preservation should be.

“Hi, Sharon – You’re a great teacher and it’s easy to get excited about all the possibilities since your videos make me feel like I can actually do this thing.”

I’ve been teaching since 2009, serving thousands of people from around the world…in an effort to get those pantries filled with delicious, healthy, home-canned food.

This desire to know what I am doing spurred me on to creating educational materials to get you started. –> Check out the canning classes here
