Carol’s interest in food preservation and particularly canning is nearly as old as she is. She started canning on her grandmother‘s farm. It was a way of preserving the garden, making jams and jellies and sauces to add to the meals. On the farm, it was also a way to have food security in case of power outages or sustained storms.
