I'm NOT Your Grandma

What's a 29 year old woman blogging about canning for?  Isn't canning what my grandma did?  I remember her removing wax off a jar of jelly and then removing mold.  So gross!  Why would anyone in this day and age feel the need to practice food preservation?!  Why don't you just go to the store like everyone else?  You're so weird!  Oh, I see you're buying canning jars.  Are you making cookie mix in a jar?  I didn't know people your age knew how to can.  Aren't you worried about making your family sick?  Canning?  People still do that?!

I'm starting to think that people have the wrong idea about home food preservation.

I want to debunk those myths.

I want you to want to can, to be excited and to jump in feet first.  I want you to know how wonderful homegrown goodness, served from a jar in January is.  I want you to be able to blow family & friends away with amazing jellies, jams, soups, stews, meats, vegetables and fruits.  And most of all, I want you to enjoy the fruits of your labor & love.

Welcome, Ladies & Gentleman, to the Incredible World of Food Preservation.  Enjoy the ride.
