Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Tilly! 🙂
Oh, I know what you mean about the lost art. Yet it is so easy! While I was learning I thought it so difficult, but now days, I realize how quickly I can cook fresh things to the consumable state, multiple meals at a time, and how quickly I can open a jar. I guess the learning curve was the initial burden. Now days, having many of the recipes memorized, I just get busy and get done in no time.
Since the pressure pots, lids, etc., are recently becoming easier to find, I wonder if home canning is coming back into vogue . . .
Home's Cool! 
This sort of task is becoming a lost art. You keep it alive.

Probably – because of the recession.
May be how it all got started in the first place, I think.
