| Canning |

I learned how to can stuff! Mom always talked about how she used to can stuff from her garden and I finally got to learn. I wanted to make jelly so we bought a bunch of peaches. After makin gthe jelly you pour it into warm canning jars, stopping ½ inch from the top. Then you put the cans into a big pot and let it boil for a while. Then when you take it out, you listen for the pop and then you know it’s sealed. My jelly turned out to be more like peach syrup. I guess we didn’t use enough pectin. I later made apple butter that turned out better. Jen and Mom canned a ton of tomatoes for chili and for salsa.
Mom taught me how to can at her farm in Stroud
