For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

It is recommended not to use older texts for reference regarding canning. Waterbath and pressure canning information has changed over the years to increase food safety and decrease spoilage. I know many food preservers stick to old family recipes and methods but it is not a good idea and people should rely on recently copyrighted/published information.
The Oregonian FOODday section had an article this week that discussed a woman who prepares small batches of food for preservation while cooking her dinner. Even Martha Stewart herself has not presented such a time-saving idea.

I appreciate the tip! I recently picked up some canning and food storage books at the local library's used book sale, and they've got to be from the 1970s. Now I will certainly do some investigating on my own before blindly following recipes that are as old as I am. Thanks!
