Preserving food is one of the most practical skills in any self-sufficient lifestyle. Canning is great for sauces, fruits, and jams. Fermenting works well for vegetables and adds probiotics. Drying is easy for herbs and fruits, and cold storage, like root cellars, can keep potatoes, squash, and carrots fresh for months.
Each method has its pros and challenges depending on your space, tools, and climate.
What techniques have worked best for you? Do you can, dry, ferment, or use cold storage? What tips would you give someone learning the ropes?
