It wasn't until just a year ago, I realize that canning was a dying art. I thought that everyone knew how to can. As far back as a I can remember I have always helped in some way with the canning that my family done every year. When I got married the first time, I started canning for my own family and have contiuned every year. I can everything from tomatos, green beans, sauces, soups, jelly, salsa, to even canning cakes in a jar. I also give some of my canning away for Christmas presents and even enter some in our local fair during the summer. I trully enjoy putting up my fruits-of-labor and then watching others enjoy it later on in the year. Pictured here is squash pickles. I will be posting the recipe later on in the week for this.

Laura,
Those squash pickles look good! I used to can a lot, too, but don't do much of it anymore, since I have gotten older. Well, maybe I should say old. I do still put up a small garden, and these days, I freeze some of my veggies. With the cost of food these days, putting up a garden,and canning and frezing sure pays off, not to mention that everything from one's own garden tastes so much better.
Look forward to your recipe. I have zucchini and cucumbers growing well already, and I may just put up a few jars of squash pickles. And I have wild cherries, and always do a few jars of wild cherry jelly. People like those as gifts as well.
Take care!

I wish you were up here to TEACH me to can. I've read about it, but would just love someone to walk me through it! With the price of everything, I think it's about time I learn!!
