Canning

I’ve become quite a canning enthusiast lately.  A couple weeks ago, Wayne
invited me to come by and pick a free gallon of blueberries for painting him a
sign. With all those blueberries, I had to make something with them, and jam
seemed like the best option. It’s easy to make, SO much more tasty than the jams
you buy in the grocery store, and it’s easy to ship to friends and family around
the country. Then, a few days ago, Will harvested a bunch of cucumbers from the
new garden he built with his YouthBuild students. So, naturally, I decided to
give pickling a try. I haven’t tasted them yet (you’re supposed to wait a couple
weeks), but they look good! And trust me, it was so easy. 

I used versions of these recipes: 

-blueberry jam

-pickles
