Up until about 30 or 40 years ago what the local stores didn't stock was in your grandparents pantry, root cellar or in their garden.

I grew up around the huge family gardens and cleaning and canning at the kitchen table, but I didn't pay much attention to the hows and the whys of what was being done.

And I'm still kicking myself for taking so much for granted!

Fortunately, we are rediscovering our somewhat forgotten heritage before it's too late...I hope it's not too late.

My story is the same — grew up around gardening and canning and never got involed. Now i’m learning canning processes and techniques and my 25 yr old daughter is learning and doing right along with me. Now is the time to learn and hone these important skills.
