Hello Friend,

Home canning foods almost became extinct. Because of the time invested in the process and the easy availability of canned foods in the grocery store, people began to take the easier route of purchasing their foods. However, times are changing due to the economy. Many people are trying to find cheap living by growing their own gardens or buying locally from growers. My dad used to sell to ladies in town every summer to can. A saying around our house was “if we don’t grow it, we don’t eat it”. This was even in the winter time. Here we are approaching Memorial Day, the beginning of summer and the longing for those fresh ripened vegetables and fruits.

Until later, have a happy cooking experience!

Your friend, Frances
