OK, so I've never really been into the whole canning thing. My Mom used to bottle every fall, she did all sorts of things. It never really held any interest for me. I honestly thought that it was a waste of time and, to me, the food didn't taste as good. What a moron!!!
Lately, I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, but I have really wanted to try bottling. I even had Kev build me a garden so I could try this fall. I am happy to announce that I have found a new hobby. I really enjoy the whole process. (I'm sure it's because it's something that I don't have to do, so..."is for fun!") I have been making jam these past two weeks. Last Friday I made a batch of mixed berry jam...it's pretty good. This week, I have made numerous batches of plum. The best part was that the kids and I picked the fruit ourselves from my Mom's plum tree. Plum jam is now a family staple!! It is by far our favorite!
Next week, as soon as I get a few more tomatoes, I'm going to tackle salsa!
