Dilly Beans!

My mother always has been, and will be a canner. She cans nearly anything you can think of, or at least has at one point in time. Bread and Butter pickles, peaches, salsa, strawberry jam, beets, asparagus, cherries...the list is long. You name it, she can can it. That's right, she can can.

Today was the annual canning of Dilly Beans. These are some of my favorites! Beans, that taste like pickles! Perfect for hamburgers! I can't live without em.

I helped this year, in hopes that I would pick up some of the canning skills. It seems that most of my mother's cooking skills have simply bypassed me in the years. It's too bad. I WANT to be a good cook, but I feel as if I might have missed that boat to some extent. I'm still trying though, so it's good to be home to learn from the best!
