Home canning is the process of preserving food by sealing it in jars or cans to maintain its freshness and flavor for a long time. However, there are various synonyms for the term that people use differently. For instance, some people refer to it as "home bottling," "home preserving," or "home pickling." Others call it "home jarring," "home bottling and canning," or simply "canning." These synonyms vary in their degrees of specificity and accuracy, but they all relate to the same concept of preserving food at home. Regardless of the terminology, more and more people are opting for home canning as a way to save money, reduce food waste, and enjoy their favorite foods year-round.
