Posted by Tracy | Filed under canning
Last month, hubby and I went strawberry picking right at the beginning of strawberry season. We went for the first time last year, and I loved it so much that we decided to make it an annual thing. I wanted to pick a lot so that I could make jam since I’ve been canning like [...]

A couple nights ago when hubby wasn’t going to be home for dinner, I decided to take the opportunity to satisfy my craving for a “girly” dish. I had just returned from picking up our CSA and had an armload of fresh vegetables and herbs, so I wanted to incorporate as many of them as [...]

Posted by Tracy | Filed under canning
After my first pickling experience, I was pretty sure I was never going to pickle anything again. I just didn’t enjoy the process – it was messy, everything smelled like vinegar all day, and I really didn’t know what to do with pickled carrots (I still don’t).
