Harvest Time & Home Canning
|
 FROM WILMA: While food preservation methods like drying, curing, pickling, and fermenting have deep roots in ancient food cultures, canning was not developed until the 1800’s when Peter Durand of England developed a commercial process to preserve food in metal cans. Home canning was not done until the late 1800’s when J.L. Mason received a patent for glass Mason Jars and Alexander Kerr developed metal lids for sealing.
Michelle's Canned Jalapenos
From the early 1900’s throughout World War 1, The Great Depression, and World War 2, home-canned foods played an important role in food security. My mother was from a large family and grew up in the depression. She lived on a farm and told of canning in half gallon jars – sometimes over an outside fire.
Home canning declined somewhat around 1950 when freezing became a way to preserve food but made a comeback a few years ago. Some of the younger generation have discovered home canning and sometimes post pictures on social media. I recently overheard a young lady proclaim, “I just love canning”. My 22 year-old grandson just gave us a jar of his ‘Cowboy Candy’ made from jalapeño peppers he grew, harvested and canned.
