| Vigo County Canning Club, Indiana 1918. Via Kaufmann Mercantile. |
I hope we’ll be seeing more food preservation clubs in the years to come. They make a lot of sense. You can pool resources, labor and expertise. No need to be nostalgic, this is an idea for the present and future.
Yeah! VIGO COUNTY REPRESENT! That’s where I live, baby! =D
Howdy Vigo County!!! Time to revive that canning club!
Well, we’ve got a pretty healthy Vigo County Extension Homemaker’s club, so we’re going in the right direction at least. =D
I don’t want to can with anyone who thinks pushing down on the lid is the way to check for a seal! WRONG! So many people I have observed canning are not mindful of hygiene rules I follow.
It’s too bad there is BPA in the lining of store-canned foods.
I have a lightning jar and ones with the zinc lids. I think I have about a half dozen different kinds, none of which are used now. I have a pint jar full of dice from games. No, I don’t gamble.
Life without canning is hard to fathom.
I started doing that informally this summer, just inviting over a bunch of people, telling them to bring tomatoes and jars. We did about 80 pounds of tomatoes that day, not bad for a first time.
