"The Homestead Heritage of Mason Jars"

Read my latest article for Countryside magazine: "The Homestead Heritage of Mason Jars."

The article begins by talking about my own recollections of Mason jars and canning in my family then turns to a more recent collection of jars I inherited from a friend.  Finally, I share some of what I learned about dating the jars in my collection and how you can do this with yours.

Enjoy!
