Thanks, DB!
Midlander, you’re welcome! I understand what you’re staying on the lean times. The hours of preserving so that we could eat well in the off seasons still have me restless during harvest even now that I’m in a position of not having to grow and put up everything we eat.
Daisy, rule following isn’t bad. 🙂
After much reading and research of botulism, I’ve just actively made a choice to continue doing what I have always done and consider that what I grew up doing doesn’t pose a danger through my experience. Or maybe I’m just lazy. I don’t discount that either. Certainly writing a canning book rebellious against the recommended would land you in some hot water, too. 😀
