I enjoy doing this! We did not have a garden this year but I have canned all kinds of vegetables. I say all kinds but really just the common ones like tomatoes,cucumbers, etc. I like making jams and jellies too! This is a lot of fun and makes a great gift. People really like getting a jar.
They make soem neat jars now too. Mason jars that are more modern looking if thats possible for a jar. Have a satin nickle lid. very nice. 5 years ago

I also remember watching my mother can food. I remember tasting her homemade james and jellies too (great flavour, horrid consistancy – she’s a terrible cook). I vaguely remember something about green beans being dangerous..hmm. Anyway, I’d like to can my own food and help my family to become more self-sufficient. I’ll start with a garden in the spring and then learn to can as well. 6 years ago

I remember making homemade jam with my mom when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed it. (It tasted way better than the storebought stuff, too.) If canning fruits and vegetables is cost-effective, I would like to do it. (Although canned veggies are so cheap at the grocery store that it might not be worth it.) 6 years ago
