OMG! Your "Archival Footage" got a real out loud laugh from me 🤣
My mama used to can stuff, not a lot because by the time I came along (I'm the baby) she was 40 yrs old (old to start raising a young'un in 1955).
She had lived and kept her family alive through the great depression, living on a farm, so she knew all the tricks AND she didn't have any kind of pressure cooker back then.
Hell they barely had electricity.
I can remember mama telling me that "if you open a jar of jelly that has mold on top (she called it a "mammy") just carefully scrape that part off and toss it.
The rest is still good.
I can't TELL you how much food I've seen wasted because some scaredy cat saw a little mold on something.
I had a roommates g'friend toss out a block of extra sharp cheddar cheese in a ziploc, because it was green.
I dug it out, cut off the green and put it back in the fridge. "Just how do you think they MAKE cheese?" I asked her...
I can just smell your jelly making's from here @generikat
