LET THE CANNING SEASON BEGIN

Attempting to make the perfect dill pickle.
Crispy and tart.
Having a hard time with the crispy.
This is the last year I will try dill pickles.
(I say that every year)

12 pints of dill pickles.
10 pints of Amish coleslaw.
(Amish coleslaw is crispy and YUMMY)
I love canning.
I know it's not some people's deal.
But it is a big deal to me.
There's nothing like seeing those gleaming full jars.
My own grocery store!

    You never cease to amaze me with your canning. I have yet to can anything.
    I am very impressed and want to raid your pantry!

    Nice job.
    I used to do an awful lot of canning and preserves but not lately. I make pickles for my husband and that's it.

    I admire you. I don't pressure cook because I'm terribly afraid the canner is going to explode in my kitchen. It's irrational, I know.
    Dill pickles are my fave! I want to grow dill in my grass/garden space because I just like picking the dill and smelling it. It's irrational. I know.

    I love that you do this! I saw your haul last year and was seriously impressed. I enjoy it too, but the bounty starts about the same time as school :(
    Maybe you'd be so kind as to share your favorite recipes?

    I have canned a little bit and loved doing it. You feel so. . . . homey and wonderful. My favorite thing was dill pickles. They were always so much better than the stores.

    I bow to you. I haven't canned in years. BUT ONCE UPON A TIME.....I had jars and jars of lucious stuff that I liked to stand back and admire.
    It all tastes so much better then store bought stuff.

    When you find the perfect recipe for crispy dills, please share! I have given up on them completely!

    Nothing makes me feel better than to see my shelves lined with yummies from the garden!!

    Happy canning!

    I think I've told you before, but I'm jealous. I grew up canning with my Mom and I loved all the bottles lined up in the basement storage room. For some reason, I just can't get into it...I want to. You do a great job. I'm impressed and I'm glad you like it!:)

    Your canning goods always look so yummy and beautiful. Reading your posts makes canning sound like fun but for me it is a hot, hard job. I enjoy the fruits of others labor though. Kudos to you sweet Tauna for a job well done! Hugs!

    Looking at your work makes me tired! What is "Amish" coleslaw? and you really can it?
