Sticky Post - Warning: 4ever Recap reusable canning lids. The reports are growing daily of these lids losing their seal during storage. Some have lost their entire season's worth of canning to these seal failures! [Update: 4ever Recap appears to be out of business.]

This cooking series with Clara shows what it is really like to cook with only a few simple ingredients to make a substantial meal during very lean times.
