Today we have a special guest star on the Greaser blog. Give it up for my beautiful little sister Megan Greaseball- Canning Extraordinaire...yeah, woooooo!
On my recent visit home to Ohio, all my lady friends and family were in the midst of a canning craze. Once my little sister taught me how to can, (which is how I've learned most things in life), I could totally understand why one would spend hours in front of a stove with multiple steaming pots of boiling water and cooking fruits which require constant stirrage. I'm serious, canning is fantastic. There's something really fun about the precision and sterility required to safely preserve something you've grown or made.
Also, in order to maximize the canning experience, you should have a partner to help you, which equals FUN. I'm not much help, but Megs is letting me do a bit while she teaches me how to can!
