My little Italian Grandmom would freeze a couple of blue claw crabs to put in her sauce during the winter months. I remember it giving her “gravy” such a distinct sweetness and made us pine for the summertime. I still can plum tomatoes for use in winter just like she taught us. Helps me keep her memory fresh.

My Grandma used to have us grand-kids tend a crab trap for her in the summer. We would dump the crabs into a peach basket for her to use in her “gravy”, as well. We only ever used to call it gravy (maybe it's a Neapolitan thing) but it seems that will get you screamed at on the internet nowadays, LOL. If we ever pulled a crab trap with an eel in it, that called for a celebration!

Anyone that cans their summer produce is alright with me! I just put my canning items away, today. After the Applesauce, I am DONE for the season. Yay!
Nice memory. :)
