It’s taken several tries, but I’ve finally convinced my mother to share some of her expertise on the podcast. We spent the day canning in her kitchen, and sat down for a few minutes to talk about food preservation. Hopefully, I’ll be able to bring additional segments from Mom in future episodes; she is a master of many practical arts. One of my favorite things to do in Mom’s kitchen is to look through her collection of recipe books. Pictured is her copy of Putting Food By, the canning reference to which she frequently consults. This well-loved edition has no front or back cover; even the spine is in tatters. This week’s episode cover is a photo taken in Mom’s pantry, where the beautiful jars of preserved produce are arranged on wooden shelves.
