From your garden? I can certainly relate to the amount of work involved. Reminds me of my youth long past when everybody was canning and pickling. Good times fondly remembered. I have at least 100 of the old bell and mason jars with clamping lids that use the rubber seals and a few dozen with food still in them that were canned back in the late 60's / early 70's all from my mom's estate. They look discolored but appear okay otherwise...I need to dump them in the compost someday. The jars are cool, especially the bigger ones, but no one uses them for canning anymore because new jar rubbers are made of unobtainium.
