Food preservation is centuries old and has many benefits, but be sure you understand the equipment, space, time, and skills needed before you begin. There are many considerations:
• Start-up costs can be expensive: Consider the cost of canners, jars, lids, dehydrators, and other tools needed to prepare the food and aid in processing.
• Food preservation is time intensive: The process may take several hours, depending on the preservation method selected. Consider your available time before beginning.

Kristin: Good Morning, this is your Wellness Wake Up Call with Kristin Bogdonas, nutrition and wellness educator for University of Illinois Extension, serving Rock Island, Henry, Mercer, and Stark Counties.
Andrew: Mmm…Sweet, crunchy, golden, tender, rich, and delicious!
Kristin: With me is Andrew Dinsmoor, Dietetic Intern from University of Illinois. Hi Andrew, it sounds like you’re really enjoying your meal! What are you eating?
Andrew: Hey, Kristin. Nothing at the moment, I’m just imagining how good the food is going to taste during the holidays with my family. You know, slowing down to enjoy each bite helps me stay mindful. Eating mindfully helps me appreciate how the food tastes and how I feel in that moment.
