Thanks, it really does help. I have been thinking about trying them again, and it does help to find someone likes them.
My mother did all sorts of canning, it is not too bad- just make sure you really understand and follow directions to the letter on things like meat especially. Though my mother canned she had a healthy fear of making us sick and was very careful. She made me so paranoid that I don’t can, but I should.
I still can soups and chili. It’s great to go to the cupboard and have homemade soup there.
