Food Storage

Oh how I love food storage I think it might be an addiction. Well when I think of canning I think of my Great Grandma, Grandma, and my mom. The three most wonderful women who have ever walked the earth. Well somehow i have the bug to can just like all of them :) I guess when I can i feel closer to my grandma bingham like she is kind of there wispering into my ear not to mess up or this is how it is done.....i feel so accomplished when i hear that popping noise after making a batch of something. As my grandma was canning tomato juice today and we hear the jars pop "sing" she just said that is music to my ears. I want to can this year i just don't know what is still in season....but man that is all i keep thinking about today so i guess i will find something in season. I really wish pickling cucumbers weren't so hard to come by these days. My mom always would make them in august or somewhere around there when we were growing up and the first time we got to take a bit out of those crisp juicy pickles was on thanksgiving and that is a tradition that i want to continue with my little ones. Hopefully next year i will be more on the ball and get more canned i will post when i can something and take picture wish me luck, just remind me not to make anymore jam! we still have jam coming out our ears from two years ago oopps!
