Adventures in Canning

[jen_drake]

I decided to learn how to can this year.  We joined a co-op of local farms and there is a lot of great fruits and vegetables.  Today, I made blackberry jam.  The blackberries came from Mount Vernon Farm.  I used the recipe from the SureJell box and I think it turned out well.  I have a lot of pictures that I can upload later, but here's a picture of the finished jam cooling on the counter.  I just have to wait for it to cool and set before I can try it out some toast.



Next week, I'm going to try to make tomato sauce, pickles, and Dilly beans.  Andy's going to be gone for the weekend and I need something to keep me busy.
