How does one can? Are there actual cans involved? How does that work?
There are glass mason jars, like we used to use for beer and wine back in college. You get those hot, fill them with boiling jam or jelly or marmalade or what have you, and then pop a lid and a ring (to hold down the lid) on top and stick the product in a huge pot of boiling water for 10-20 minutes. A vacuum forms in the jar. Then you hand out jam to your local friends, and pile various varieties by the door, promising yourself once a month or so that you really will mail them out this week, honest.
If you're me.
Which is to say, I always have extra, and I never manage to make it to the damn post office.

Huh. I really did miss a lot not going to college.

HA! I have a box in my house that I've been meaning to send to my mother. She's kind of annoyed that she still hasn't seen the last two episodes of Drive.
I think in a pinch, we also used them for bongs. I don't know. It was a hippie school. Anything could be used for smoking.

We used to can salmon with actual cans. I had a friend who would can halibut as well, but we were always amazed at the thought of halibut lasting long enough to make it into a can because
teh yum!
I will say, though, that halibut salad sandwiches blow tuna out of the water.
I just sent an e to Defamer about that job.
Also, Fed Ex left a message about a delivery. I signed for them to just drop it tomorrow. I hate the NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS.
Hey! Maybe Tim finally got me a pony for valentine's day!
