My 86 year old mother passed 2 weeks ago. I learned to can by doing so with her & my grandmother.
So, I can because it is a link to my history & 2 amazing women.
The days leading to her death were exhausting. We were trying to take care of her & ourselves. We had so many delicious & easy meals from our home canned foods.
She would always enjoy vegetable soup & I made it countless times. Both from jars of individual veggies & (when time was really tight) just emptying jars of the premade soup into a pot & voila!
So, I can for the future. For the days we need a good meal & won’t have time to do much.
We all have our reasons why. And, we all have a community of knowledge & kindness in this group. What blessings.
