Preserved food in Mason jars.

Canning is a method of food preservation in which food is processed and sealed in an airtight container (jars like Mason jars, and steel and tin cans). Canning provides a shelf life that typically ranges from one to five years, [a] although under specific circumstances, it can be much longer. [2]
