There’s a distinct chance we’ve been canning all wrong. Or, at the very least, storing our canned jars in the wrong ways.

Read about proper storing etiquette - and how to keep your precious jams, jellies, and pickles safer - in their detailed how-to. Then go unscrew all of the rings on your jars; you’ll be glad you did.
