Thanks for the post. It took me back to my childhood when great grandma and grandma did tons of canning. I hated all the hard work to help them but as an adult appreciate their labors all the more.

It breaks my heart to think of all the ‘survival skills’ and common sense we have lost in ONE short generation! I mean, my Mom doesn’t grow and preserve food. She spent her life plotting to get OFF the farm, and she teases me that I am constantly channeling HER mother just to annoy her with all of my ‘Susie Farmgirl Homemaker’ ventures, LOL!
Too bad, Mom. If you’re ever hungry, come see me...the pantry is full! ;)
