VPR Cafe: Fearless Canning

Steve Legato
Orange tomato and smoked paprika jam is made by cookbook author and blogger Marisa McClellan.

If you are among the many who have fears about canning, Melissa Pasanen can help quell some of them. Stories of botulism poisoning and misinformation have kept many away from what can be a satisfying experience and a good way to enjoy your garden's bounty through the winter.

Melissa, who writes for the Savorvore Section of The Burlington Free Press, talked with cookbook author  Marisa McClellan about safe and easy canning. You can learn more about canning in Melissa's Free Press Article.

The VPR Cafe is produced in collaboration with The Burlington Free Press.

Broadcast on Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 10:50 a.m.
