Canned Vegetables

I have never really canned vegies...like to freeze them for the most part..have canned rubarb sauce, apple sauce and loved to make bread and butter pickles...My moms were the best. Seeing these jars made me think of all the canning she did...and how I would go down the basement stairs to go to her shelves to pick out a vegetable or fruit that she had asked me to fetch for her....I used to stand and just look at her at her work, it was truly an art.

Aw that makes me smile. I used to do the same thing for my mom. She even had a couple jars around for a while that HER mom canned like 20 years ago that she didn't have the heart to throw away. I agree. It is definitely an art.

Oh...what I would give to have some of my moms around just to look at now...I miss her. She passed Oct 6th of 2002...

I'm sorry for your loss. I haven't lost a parent yet so I don't know first hand what that is like, but I know that I will miss my mom very much too. Thank you for sharing your memories.

Savor her and hold on to the treasures she gives you.....you will never regret loving.

My Grandmother was a phenomenal gardener and canner and it is some of my most evocative memories. I learned from her and still use some of her recipes for Apple Butter and Chili Sauce. I hope you can soon have your garden and can your own produce. Good Luck and Good Memories!!!
