Dreaming of summer: home canning
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about canning the bounty that comes out of the backyard garden during the coming growing season. Alright, I might be jumping the gun, but better to be prepared than trying to find supplies at the last minutes or realizing I didn’t grow enough or the right food to can.

Learn How To Can
Would You Like To Learn How To Can?
It is a very good skill to have. I spent a lot of time learning this skill from my Grandma in Kansas when I was young, and from my Amish neighbors in Indiana once I was grown and married.
I found this blog about canning on seed buzz and I wanted to share this post. This young woman has done a very good job of describing the process of canning pickles. She shows you what equipment is needed and has very nice pictures taking you step by step. Plus she is from Kansas and lives on a farm. I am from Kansas from age (0 to 23 ) and have lived on many farms, in Kansas and Indiana. So we have this Kansas/Farm thing in common.

Do the Can-Can! Pickles & Lavender Lemon Jelly
I've got two new blogs to send your way today with one key message: you CAN do it! It's the perfect time of year to buy in bulk, pick up those slightly blemished fruits and veggies, and get down to some serious canning business. I'm no expert, but I just recently canned a batch of salsas and pizza sauce (posts coming soon) and am beyond motivated to try more!
If you've got the itch, give these two sites a whirl!

Canning - Easier than I Thought
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on canning. I tried canning for the first time this year like you. I started out with spaghetti sauce and corn and have since tried strawberry jam. It is much easier than I thought it would be. Although I found it a little intimidating the first time around. :)
