Unsweetened Applesauce

Despite my obvious love for all things pumpkin this time of year, I can’t forget another sweet star of autumn – the apple. Having never made my own applesauce before, this year it became top priority on my ever-growing list of things to preserve. I’m really not sure what I’ve been waiting for, either! It [...]

Sweet & Spicy Zucchini Relish for National Can-It-Forward Day

The first time I pickled something, I swore up and down that I would never do it again. Sure, the dilled carrots I made came out okay, and it was fun to learn how to pickle. But my entire house smelled of vinegar for days, and once I finally popped open the one jar I [...]

Cranberry Chutney

I can’t believe that this is the end of the Tigress Can Jam!

I have to say I’ve loved every minute of it, and I’ve learned a lot as well. [...]
