For the past 10 years, I have been making my own jams, jellies, pickles, salsas, and sauces and canning them. Not because my mother or grandmother taught me how to do it, as a tradition passed down from generation to generation. The following is a guest post by Raising A Family On A Budget.

Whether you’re trying to save money or just limit the amount of stuff in your life, it doesn’t make it cheap to gift your friends and family ideas from this list. Pick a theme, such as cooking basics 101, family recipes, bread baking, or preserving /canning. This sweet little candy dish was a gift from my grandmother.

It’s been around forever in one form another, whether back when your grandmother reused glass bottles for canning or in 2014 when a truck comes around to pick up all those empty soda cans you put out at the end of your driveway. Ah, recycling. What do you recycle that would surprise some people? Share in the comments!

Since the 2008 recession, many people have rediscovered the savings, joys and health benefits of locally grown food – whether you have a backyard garden, participate in a community garden or shop at the local farmer’s market.

My Grandmother was born in 1898. In winter, she and Grandpa cut ice from the pond and put it in the ice house to try to save it for summer. Food was preserved by canning, drying or storing in a cool cellar or the ice house. Absolutely not! She lived on a farm. A lot of times, she didn’t use grocery money either.
