You know how I am the Canning Expert (and Associate Producer) for the Growing A Greener World public television series? Well, we just launched a new Canning and Preserving Blog over on our website! Each week, I will posting on how to preserve the harvest and capture local flavors in a jar.
Come on over and see!
I already have post on:



Great Website.
Here is a link to my blog where we made fig jelly out of fresh figs.

I love to learn all I can about canning. This is my first garden that I have grown and I am looking forward to my fresh goodness all the rest of the year. I am glad that I found your site because you make it seem really easy and fun to do.

You have one of the best sites I have found on the internet. You make things look so simple and fun to do. I love most of your recipes and have share them with all my friends. They think you are great, too. I hope we will see some more recipes about tomatoes in the future. I like to mix almost anything with them.

This is really great. I am just finishing up on all of my canning. I hate to put my canning supplies away. This means that I have a cold hard winter to get through before I can get back to my favorite place in the world. My garden.

Perhaps I am in a minority, but one of my favourite jams is tomato jam, not too sweet. When you have a glut of tomatoes why not try making jam as well as chutney.

Last year I purchased some cute little canning jars at Savers. I filled them with sewing kits, made a pin cushion on the top, and sold them at the local Farmer's & Crafter's Market -- they were a hit!
Now I am searching for the same jars, and can't find them.
They were short and squat, and had embossed fruit all around it. The cap insert was white and circled with multi-colored fruit.
Jarden/Ball no longer carries them.
Can you help?

Hi Cleo,
I wish I knew where you can get those, but I can't find them in my searches. You might try www.KitchenKraft.com as they have some unusual sized jars. Maybe one of them would work.
Good luck! Your project sounds very cool!
