Homecanning Recipes
On these pages are all the old recipes for home canning that I've been running across in my old cookbooks. These pages are an ongoing project, I keep adding more recipes as I run across them.
You know, the kind of home canning where you stood by and watched your mom or grandma do their thing in the kitchen.
I, myself, can remember my mother doing some homecanning even in the 1950's. I particularly remember her making Green Tomato Relish, and some jelly where she poured the paraffin on top. Most of the time she put us girls to work preparing the vegetables, and since I've been canning myself here lately, I find that it is easier to home-can if their are two people working together. Otherwise, you have to be very organized, and good at... juggling.
