035: How To Preserve Food Like a Pro

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists, we get into the nuts + bolts of canning excess food so as to reduce food waste.

If you’re serious about sustainability, I’m willing to bet you’re also serious about reducing food waste. 

Preserving food at home is the epitome of sustainability. That’s because canning eliminates the need for pesky supermarket packaging or plastic + relies instead on (reusable + awesome) mason jars. 

A little-known secret? Preserving food at home also saves serious cash.

That’s where today’s guest comes in. She’s a homesteader + canning expert who has gotten quite creative in the kitchen as a means of slashing into food waste + saving money. She’s gotten *so* good, in fact, that her grocery bill averages just $30 per week.

My guest this week is Heather Harris of The Homesteading Hippy. Heather’s here to offer her best kitchen tips.

Enjoy!
