Am I the only one that uses a death machine any more? Otherwise known as a pressure canner...
Who am I kidding, there are very few of us canning aficionados left. I {heart} canning, it's one of my favorite things to do. Something about seeing the pantry shelf lined with fresh garden produce to be enjoyed all year long...you really don't know what you're missing.
Just finished a fresh batch of green beans...now in a few months when it's cold and dreary outside, I can put a little piece of fatback (you probably don't know what that is if you are north of the Mason- Dixon line - too bad for you), render the fat, then put the canned green beans in with some frozen {fresh} corn cut from the cob, finish with salt and pepper. Green has never tasted so good.
Go ahead, take a chance on canning. Look at it this way, if the apocalypse comes and you are forced to hide out in your bomb shelter, you'll be glad you have all your canned beauties to choose from...with or without the fatback.
