I guess putting your own food up is a mindset you get into so deep that you don't realize we home food preservers are almost a dying breed. I think with the economy being what it is more people are going that way. I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to teach well-meaning friends that great grannies canning habits can kill them either quickly or very slowly and painfully. The horror, the horror.
I can't even GET my friends that far. They think any kind of preserving is Hard Work and wouldn't even attempt it. The reaction to my jam making is equivalent to what they'd say if I perfected cold fusion at home. Folks have gotten so spoiled and soft in the past 50-60 years.
