When I was young my mother canned all sorts of things. They were so tasty and I loved sitting with her, watching and helping. I have always wanted to try, but I was a little intimidated. This year with a little confidence boost from my provident living class I decided to give it a try. The first thing I did was pickles. This was my very first try at canning. I learned some things just in a short amount of time. Them a few days later I went to the farmers market and bought 50 lbs of South Carolina Freestone peaches. They were delicious and beautiful. I canned 21 quarts of peaches and made 7 pints of jam. This was so fun and I can't wait to try some other things. I feel so productive when I do things like this!
Such pretty little cucumbers
I haven't got to try any, they said to let them cure for 6 weeks. I have about 2 weeks left
Look at these peaches. This was just what I had left to make jam. I had two baskets that looked just like this
Besides being gorgeous, they taste so good. Garrett can't get enough of them!

Ok, you'll have to pass on your canning tips. I'm feeling a bit intimidated but would love to try canning at least one thing this year.
