There’s a small sound that I look forward to hearing this time of year. It’s that small pop, some may call it a ping, that my jars of canned food make when they are sealing. It’s a subtle sound, but one that I enjoy because I know it means that another batch of salsa or spaghetti sauce or pickled peppers is ready for the pantry.
