“I noticed in Walmart and Kroger that they’re getting a bunch of canning jars and lids in stock.”
Thanks for the notice but I don’t can. My mother’s, mother, died when my mother was only 9 months old from botulism. She was only 20 or 21. So my mother never canned and neither did I. I have made some jams though and sealed with melted wax.
I couldn’t remember who did and didn’t, and I didn’t want to leave anyone out who might. I probably did, anyway. LOL
My mom would can (the unapproved water bath method-she didn’t trust the pressure canner!) when I was younger. I have books and stuff, but I’ve never done it.
I remember you telling that. My mother, who was in no way a person that would can anything, decided to try it when I was around nine years old. Worst day! Thankfully she never tried again.
I did have some friends that had horses when I was a young teen, their mom was a canner and it was so pretty. I just rathered grow stuff and eat/freeze.
