If earlier only our grandmothers were engaged in rolling cans for the winter, now is the time for us to try this exciting activity. Autumn stocks will come in handy in winter and on New Year’s Eve you will have nice jars on the table without flavor enhancers and preservatives. 

To prepare delicious summer memories, you need a standard set: small clean glass jars and lids (threaded or metal with a rubber seal). The last version of the lids requires skill, in addition to the seaming key, you will need a lot of other utensils, so we advise you to focus on threaded lids. For the greater benefit of the blanks, we recommend using apple or wine vinegar instead of table vinegar.
