Last week, the New York Times ran a story on how canning fruits and vegetables in your own kitchen is making a big comeback. Canning has always appealed to people who want to save money by growing and preserving their own food, but the "local food" movement has spurred interest in canning as well. Shoppers are discovering the wonderful flavors of locally grown food in farm markets (like Stratford's weekly farm market) and they are now realizing that canning and preserving is a way to keep the delicious flavors of summer on hand all winter.
If you're interested in canning and preserving, stop by the library and check out a book or two. We have do-it-yourself books on practically every topic, from canning to beekeeping to repairing your car.
