::learning to can::


I have always wanted to learn to can, but was intimidated by the process.  I started off the canning season by spending a day helping Jamie can salsa.  She taught me the basics and helped me get a better understanding.  

I have had such a great year in my garden that I couldn't let all those tomatoes go to waste.  After getting my first canning lesson, I decided to toughen up and get myself going.  

The first thing I canned was tomato paste.  All jars sealed!!!
That got me going and I was ready to try some other things.  

I didn't have a canning wrack, so I read up about how to make one from extra lids.  
It's worked perfectly, but I will invest the $25 to buy one. 

This season I have canned; tomato juice, paste, diced, and marinara sauce. I am making plans to convert our unusable old basement into a storage area for canned produce and a root cellar.  
I still have hope of canning more juice and sauce this year.
I am really enjoying canning, it suits my hippy heart.

  2. Incredible post I should state and much obliged for the data. Instruction is unquestionably a sticky subject. Be that as it may, is still among the main themes of our opportunity. I value your post and anticipate more. 스포츠토토
