Yes, I Can!, Yes, We Can!

It all begins with an idea. PERFECTLY PRESERVED

I started canning at a young age. As I got older, my responsibilities also grew. I took care of planting our

garden, weeding, tending our fruit trees, and harvesting our bounty. I used my wagon to haul fresh fruits

and vegetables into our kitchen and prepared the table to measure the ingredients for the recipes my

mother and grandmother agreed to make.

The conversation was always similar but never old. We laughed when one of us would say, “Yes, I can.”

We never said –“no, I can’t.”

I loved to listen to the pings of the lids sealing on our jars. Whenever a lid popped, my mother would

say “Perfectly preserved, and my grandmother would take a theatrical bow.”

Sixty years later, I am still canning, keeping the tradition handed down to me, and still smiling when I

hear the joyful ping of a sealed jar.

The main difference is my company, Two Lumps of Sugar, produces the jars I use. They are dependable,

superior to other brands, and universal to other mason Jars. Our crystal clear bright glass, double-coated

heavy inner lids, and faster sealing with our plastisol ring are perfect for hot water and pressure canning.

Yes, I Can
