I have pickles for y’all. Reason number 3 hubby snatched me up, lol! I want to share them with you. Don’t be discouraged at canning, pickling, etc. It is so easy and fun. There is a special feeling that comes when you open your pantry to your own creations. It’s so cool. Promise. And, it REALLY isn’t that hard. I’m excited to post them. I would do it now, but… it’s dinnertime and I haven’t uploaded the pics, yet. I am such a slacker. Speaking of slacking- I need to call my mama in law and get her jalepeno jelly recipie my hubby told me about….. 
CANNING!! Last fall was my first time canning my best friend who lives across the road and i spent a few wkends doing nothing but canning locally grown tomatoes which we made juice/sauces/paste and all kinds of goodies out of 120pounds worth! tonight i just used my last can/jar of home made red sauce! We did well i reckon! I also canned over 100 pounds of green tomatoes as well no thanks to blight *GRUMBLE* But we canned and blanched so much stuff last summer/fall from our gardens as well! It truely is something to go and get goodies from your pantry and know u did that and saved your family some $$ as well! Cant wait to see your post darl!
Yay Kira! I wish I was your best friend! I bet it was work, but FUN!
