Canning Fever

Pasta Sauce and Blueberry Jam

Bren has canning fever. It all started with a canning book that she received as a Christmas present. Now, she has canned (or jarred as I like to call it) Salsa, Pasta Sauce, Blueberry Jam, and Sweet Pickles. The nice thing is that we'll be well stocked with food that we know is locally grown and chemical free.

This summer is getting off to a slow start, as are our vegetables. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, various peppers, and carrots. So far we haven't picked a thing. We've barely reached the 80s in temperature, and we've had more rain than usual. However, despite the lack of veggies, I'm personally enjoying the cool summer.
