Ribbons, Ribbons

There were plenty of ribbons to go around at the Central Alabama Fair last week,
 most to the folks who still preserve their own food!

Freezing and canning food is what we did in the summer back when I was growing up
...in a hot kitchen with a big window fan
...made even hotter by canners on the stove.
 Gosh, I haven't made any of my grandmama's pear pickle in years!
 I really, really need to get back into this, what with food prices going up.  

Do you preserve food, and I have to wonder if our daughters and granddaughters
 (and sons and grandsons!) are learning how!
