The process of canning hasn’t changed much over the decades, though Amish women today may use a propane-powered or generator-powered stove, depending on what their particular Community and Bishop allows. Martha uses a propane-powered stove to heat water to sterilize her jars and for the canning process. When asked if she uses new lids with each jar – a common practice among English who can – she said she is more likely to boil and reuse her lids. Some people always use new lids for the meat because it takes so long to make. Remember, chicken takes three hours minimum to process. You don’t want it to spoil after all that.
