For so many people canning is a way of life. It’s a matter of survival. Preserving meat at today’s prices for tomorrow. Being able to put a winter’s bounty is a wonderful feeling. Knowing that all winter you will be feeding your family. Knowing that you can feed friends and family without the help of Uncle Sam is awesome.
Canning is generations old. People have been doing this for millennia. It started with Napolenic Wars when Napoleon Bonaparit put out a request to the chefs of his military to find a way to preserve food. Philippe de Girard. stepped up to answer the call. Society carries out that tradition.
