Food Preservation

This community doesn’t use modern refrigerators, so how do they preserve their food? When the summer months are gone, and they no longer harvest fresh food from their gardens, the Amish have to rely on other methods of food storage—for instance, the canning method.

This is when we place food in glass jars and seal them to prevent it from going bad. The process of canning is difficult and time-consuming because of all the prep work. Remember, they have to chop up all this food by hand!
