RE: Home Canning; Deanna & All Interested Folks

[Guest guest]

I have ancient cookbooks (and I do mean ANCIENT – they were originally

property of my mom who is 85 this year, my first mother in law who passed in

76, and one that was my grandmother’s – these books thought that Spam was an

extremely proper food) and they do cover a lot of ground in the cooking and

freezing aspects of different foods. While I’ve never canned – never been

able to have a garden to grow enough to do it – I do remember canning w/ my

mom when I was young and we always had a garden of about an acre. The

directions they used then are just as relevant as anything you can find now,

so you might look for some of the “antique” cookbooks people donate to

thrift stores for canning and freezing tips.

Home Canning; Deanna & All Interested Folks

 

 

 

Over thirty years ago I sent for a pickling book (USDA) from Pueblo

Colorado. It is well worn, by now, as am I. While the booklet numbers

have changed, over the years, the information is still accurate. A lot

of valuable information can be found at:

I would imagine you can download a lot of this stuff, these days.

Blessings and happy canning, Jack

I have 5 canning books that I purchased at my local thrift store. A

couple are what you would call 'antique'. LOL. Not much has changed

over the years except for the jars. I actually have two real antique

glass top jars that I purchased at a yard sale. I love these and set

them on the kitchen counter filled with pasta. Canning books and

canning equipment can be purchased at thrift stores too for as little

as a couple dollars. Well I am off to the Farmer's Market with my

daughter and grand-daughter to buy some of our local peaches and

corn.

Make a rewarding , peaceful day

Sending smiles and hugs your way

Deanna in Colorado
