The price of groceries have driven me to canning.I now understand why Sunday was a day of rest
Women needed some down time after all the effort it took
to put into preserving their food and their families.
to put into preserving their food and their families.
Tiring work- yes
Rewarding- I hope so

Oh the memories! Grandma would send me down to her "fruit cellar" (a little room off of the basement that grandpa dug out) to get a jar of tomatoes or her homemade pickles. It was amazing that in the dead of winter those tomatoes tasted like she just picked them from the garden that day. But yeah, sometimes she'd open a jar and find that things had not gone quite right ...
I'm very impressed by anyone that can put up their own foods, be it pickles or vegetables or fruits. What a rewarding thing to do!
I'm impressed too! Have you made more jam too? I loved the jar you shared with me. I've been blanching and freezing...will try making some pickles tomorrow...
And yes, we still need a day of rest...when we are always on the go we can't hear ourselves think let alone love or be loved. Hope you are being good to you too!
Good point! I never really thought of it that way.
