Mind you, we did all of this on what was probably the most hot and humid weekend of the year. (Maybe that's why my labels aren't sticking too well to the jars.) Susan was a real pal to show me the ropes on this one!
Next up: blueberries? I think I'm ready.

I have wanted to try canning. Your looks so yummy! Isn't nice to have a friend to show you the ropes?
Yes, I really needed to have someone walk me through it! I had read about it a lot, but that really only intimidated me - I was so worried about having everything clean enough, etc. Now I know that it's not that hard and that I can do it! It's a great feeling.
