Food Preservation of the Past, the way Grandma did it.

from A Homegrown Family · host Joseph Mettler

Dipping back in time, all the way back to the roaring 20’s where cooking, processing and food preservation looked a whole lot different than it does today. Electricity was limited and indoor plumping was rare. Joined by my mother and 99-year-old Grandma we take a blast to the past. Salting and smoking meat and using a hot water bath for canning was common practice and hand milking cows by the light of a lamp was a typical evening endeavor. As inventions were made, like the electric stove and the microwave life became simpler, but somehow we as people are as busy as we ever were.  Email: [email protected]: ahomegrownfamA Homegrown Family on YouTubeSupport the show
