Jars of strawberry syrup and strawberry-lemon marmalade cooling after coming out of the canner.
Check out how I made my strawberry-lemon marmalade here. (Read through the topic to see how I made it this year.) I love canning, and I love being so comfortable with canning now that I can make my own recipes. Canning is like baking bread is like making cheese is like making soap. It’s all about practice. You get better with each attempt. I love food, and I love canning.

Last summer was my first foray into canning. I made salsa with green zebra tomatoes, and my 9 year old has eaten every jar and is on pins and needles waiting for summer tomatoes.
But I want to lots more canning this year!

Hi…. is there a index that lists all you wonderful recipes. I’m having trouble finding a easy way to access your recipes.
Thanks!

Dee, if you’ll look at the top of the sidebar here, on my Cooking page (where you are right now), you’ll see a green square button that says Cooking Archives. You’ll find an index of all my recipes there.
