I should ask my aunt if she still has the one her mother and grandmother used. They did a lot of canning. I asked my mom one time why she didn't can, she said that was why God gave us grocery stores so you don't have to do that anymore. :-D Both my sisters and I canned after we got married. In all fairness, my mom started cooking for the family when she was 13 years old, and then took care of 3 little girls and a husband so there wasn't a whole lot of left over time. She was a great cook and made some absolutely wonderful clothes for us.
