Canning

Ms. Janette(my good friend and kids preschool teacher) has me hooked on canning.  There is just something about a pantry full of food that I just love.  It has been great to spend a girls nights together at the excuse of doing something so productive.  I have learned a ton.  Its been well worth the late hours, messy house, and crazy kids.  

So far we have made (in no particular order)...
Pineapple, salsa, peaches, mango salsa, tomatoes, orange marmalade, apple pie filling, roasted bell peppers, marinara sauce, roasted tomatillo salsa, pears, BBQ sauce, and probably a few others that Im forgetting about.  

We have ended up having so many join our little canning group, we have had to can mass amounts.  180 to be exact on the apple pie filling.  But who wouldn't want 50 jars of that in their closet?  :)
