When I was a kid it was a necessity. Some months we did not have two nickels to rub together but we had lots of canned veggies to eat.
What I want to know why do we still call it "canning" when it's all done in glass jars? weird
Then again calling it "jarring" just does not sound right and calling it
"Home produced food preservation technique" is a bit unwieldy!!
