Do you remember how your aunt always had a canning jar in her cupboard and usually several others around the house? Today, you are more likely to see a canning jar at a restaurant serving cola or on a dresser holding coins. Well, as times are changing, people are becoming more food conscious, and canning fruits and vegetables is once again a very popular activity.
