Canning Odyssey
This year, I'm putting a serious effort into my winter pantry. Fruits and veggies are getting put up as fast as the season brings them to harvest.
Tell ya what, it's a boatload of work, and I'm very aware of the privilege that allows me entire weekend days to sweat and hustle over hot water for 13 hours to put up food. It's not cheaper than shopping at the grocery store, not if you value your time, but it is tasty and it is fun.
