Canning Planning...
I don't know why and I'm sure there are lots of ppl out there that do this naturally every yr., but this is my first time. I've always wanted to can goods. My family tease by say " why is it called canning when you use jars?" or "yuk" So what, I don't care. I think anyone who is a serious cook, has tried to can, at some time. I'm looking forward to it either way. I've been collecting everything I need for a while now. The other day in the Dollar Tree they have all the other tools I need for 1$! I need spatulas and one of those gripping things to take the jars out and maybe one more hand towel. I said I'd come back next week and get them. So today I bought some jars and lids...carrying them home was a feat worthy of all my momma muscles, which have been building stamana by picking up toddlers for 17 yrs. heehee. I've visited some very interesting blogs about cooking, all kinda foods. Other than the bible my favorite books to read are cookbooks, food network. Well I can't tell you how excited I am to start this family tradition of canning. I'm looking forward to seeing and tasting yummy goodies in a jar that I love all summer long. I don't think I'll be able to do the spring favorites. I'll wait till next yr. to do strawberries, but apples, applebutter, peaches, plums, cherries and tomatoes. I may even try a chutney! lol who knows.
