Report on Canning
Our last "Fast Food From Home" article was a report from the archives. Canning was the main topic covered in the article written by my oldest daughter. At the time of the original posting, she had only canned dried beans and beef stew. Thanks to my daughter's canning, many fast meals have been eaten and enjoyed through the past 15 years. Dried beans and beef stew are no longer the only items on the canning menu. A variety of meats, vegetables, and sauces make it possible to produce delicious meals in literally minutes. My daughter enjoys experimenting, and we enjoy the tasty results.
