I think she knows that part. My Grandma God rest her soul was adamant we learn a few things and overruled our mother on them. Her Grandkids boy or girl were all going to know how to cook, bake, sew, fish, hunt, can/preserve food and garden/farm. She told my Mom that anyone that knew those things was never going to go hungry. I thank her almost every day for insisting I learned "girl stuff" because if I didn't know it I'd be screwed

Ironically, "gift" is the German word for poison.

The USDA extensively tested home canning recipes in the 1990s and started keeping a guide available for free with the instructions. https://nchfp.uga.edu/resources/category/usda-guide

Both of those have their uses, I suppose.

Most home (canned) tomato sauce recipes recommend adding lemon juice to ensure sufficiently high acidity and prevent botulism, since natural tomato acidity can vary. Otherwise you can just get pH testing strips.
