This is the summer I decided to start learning how to can! Preserving food at the height of freshness....well, it's a very frugal and green thing to do. I finally convinced my mom to show me how. Both my grandmothers canned when they had children and even when I was a little girl. You used to can because if you didn't, you wouldn't be eating in the winter! Of course now we've got fairly cheap canned goods we can buy, but it's just not the same as home-canned foods, and this way we know what we're getting---which is organic food grown either at hom or at a small family farm where we buy some things.
So far we've just canned the green beans, but there's more to come.
