Home Canning And Preserving

I sometimes think that despite all the progress we’ve made in the modern world, we’ve also lost a lot of what made our kitchens amazing places to be.

Take home canning, for example, in my mother’s day – every housewife in America (OK, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but trust me, it was a lot of housewives) was canning their own food at home.

Now? Everyone’s too darned busy to think about it.

Which is a shame because it can save you a ton of money, improve the quality of your food and it makes really tasty treats!

So, I went back to basics with Home Canning and Preserving by Janet Cooper this week and I think you should too.

My mouth’s watering just thinking about it:

I love strawberry jam. So, do all my family!
