“I think I will be the last generation that knows how to preserve food.”
I don’t do it, but I sure am impressed with people who do. Seems like it could be a hobby that later could prove to be life saving. (Who knows what the future holds?)
When my parents retired to Mom’s family homestead in 1996, they were faced with putting the basement “in order”. The place was built in 1830, so there was a lot of stuff.
There were shelves full of jars of veggies canned by Grandma. Mom wanted to use the jars for her own canning so they threw out the food. Mom said it looked and smelled perfectly fine, even though Grandma died in 1948.
