Hello!
The kids and I decided we wanted to learn how to can....
The last time I canned something was when I was in Home Ec (almost 20 years ago)
and for some reason I have always been terrified of canning...
I bought
a Williams & Sonoma preserving cookbook called
It is a very informative cookbook and I am eager to try out some of the recipes....
I also ordered the Blue Chair Jam Cookbook, recommended by Heather Bullard...
We plan to do some canning this weekend, and then we are headed back up to Apple Hill next week to do some more apple picking....
I can't wait.
I purchased some Kilner canning jars along with a quite a few different sizes of
the weck canning jars (they have lots of canning information on their site)....
The kids are excited about it and so is my husband....
My mother in law, Marilyn has always put in a big garden and has her own fruit trees, she does all kinds of canning each year....
If only she didn't live in Montana.... I would have her come over and teach me how to can...
On another note....
I forgot to choose a winner for the Creatively Made Home e-course giveaway.....
The winner is Lori B, countryicon@hotmail.com.
