I didn't say *give* it to her! LOL Sounds like she wouldn't be interested
in looking at it anyway.

I like the idea of you asking her about the beans. If they were truly
home-canned by someone else, you could just rave about them and ask if she'd
part with the last couple of jars and then, yes, you could toss them! Or
you could hope she doesn't have 12 jars of them and only gives you two. But
that would be two down, 10 to go!
