Summary: For two long centuries, consumers have been preserving food by canning local and seasonal produce grown in backyard gardens and purchased at farmers' markets. Home canning, or "putting up" as it's often called, is growing in popularity --- sales of canning equipment are up 30% --- and now, we, The Meal Makeover Moms have taken the plunge and are jumping on the nationwide canning craze. On this week's show, we feature a recipe for Bread and Butter Pickles and an interview with home gardening and canning guru, Mo Gouin. Mo is a friend of Janice’s parents, and his New Hampshire vegetable garden will amaze you! For more information, visit the Moms' website and blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com.
