This book is NOT a "how to can" book; instead, a collection of recipes that keep well after canning. Rebel Canning is the long-time passion practiced by the Author's family. Rebel Canners place a high priority on using time-honored methods. They believe firmly in maintaining family traditions and social customs from around the world.In this book, there are methods and recipes used all over the world. Please note that not all countries have the same suggested regulations or processes for preserving food. Rebel Canners respect people of other cultural backgrounds that have been effectively using that different method for generations. Techniques that are different from yours don't necessarily mean they are unsafe or wrong methods to use. They are just different methods than yours.While Rebel Canners recognize there is a need for food safety regulations for industrial canning companies, they also acknowledge during mass production; food may become contaminated, causing the need for a method to be in place for mass recalls. However, in "farm to table," many recipes and techniques are proven throughout many generations. These small-scale home canning methods need not be subject to the same regulations and testing as large companies are."Farm to table" focuses on natural foods, without the use of chemical additives, and many methods contained in this book have their roots in other countries where laws are not the same as in the USA. Not all canning recipes may fall under the guidelines for the USDA, but they are here to stay for Rebel Canners.Rebel Canners Cookbook, is the private recipe collection of Tammy McNeil. Rebel Canners is the name of the Facebook group that she started a few years ago. Rebel Canners believe that not every canning recipe has to be approved by the USDA to be safe; thus, the reason they say "Welcome To The Darkside. The practice is to preserve time-honored methods that are tried and true. Around the world, people know Tammy McNeill as a canning expert and educator dedicated to guiding others in canning. In this book lies many of her secrets!
