I am really working on learning how to cook and cook healthy. With a family full of eager eaters, I need to get good fast. Well this year I tackled canning. And I want you to know that canning is just COOKING. That's it. I always thought it was some scary or dangerous thing. It's NOT. I am making plans to can as soon as I can in 2012(hee hee..pun intended). And I will walk you through it and share my favorite recipes.
Here's over 40 jars of jelly that cost me less than 50 cents a jar. I found the blackberries on the side of the road, plums in my family's yard, and super cheap strawberries (99 cents a quart).
The strawberry jam was berries and sugar, but it was so beautiful and fresh.
You must try this one!!!
My little baby LOVED the homemade apple sauce that came from a local orchard. Just apples and water--pure and simple and healthy. I got second apples and made sauce for pennies a jar!!
I also grew my own tomatoes and canned diced tomatoes.
The peaches came from my Georgia neighbors for 89 cents a pound which was 80 cents a jar.
If I can do this, you can do. Think about it and join me in late spring and summer for some canning fun!!
