Today’s episode dives into Rebel Canning. A growing movement of experienced home canners who question rigid USDA canning guidelines and instead use understanding of heat, acidity, density, and time to preserve food safely. We break down how many official rules are based on what was tested, not on what failed, leading to absurd distinctions like crushed tomatoes being approved while diced are not. This is not about recklessness. It is about thinking adults using data, history, and logic rather than permission based food safety.

We also cover real world rebel canning examples like dry canned potatoes, unlisted soups and stews, electric pressure canners, and why group intelligence matters more than lone opinions or blind compliance. We discuss botulism risk in practical terms, why most foodborne illness comes from handling not preservation, what failures actually look like, and when not to can something at all. If you want to understand canning as a skill, not a rulebook, this episode lays out how to do it responsibly.
