Which Reminds Me

My grandmother had, in her basement, a shelf loaded with Mason jars full of jams and jellies, some of which she had made herself, others were gifts or trades from friends and the relatives, whether the Texas relatives or others I am not sure. But nowadays we tend to buy our jams and jellies at the grocery store. We have lost some of the old arts of canning in our pursuit of modern progress and we are not sorry to see them go. We will not be doing that again. We must go forward, not backward.
