Green DIY: Canned Food

I really love this guest post over at City Birds Nest by Jordan of Trailer Gypsy. Another fantastic green DIY. She cans her very own food. I think this is such a great idea. I would love to make my own jam because my Noni (great grandmother) has always made her own jam...I tend to hate store bought. (Maybe I'm a jam snob, so be it) I would really love to carry the tradition on, especially since now at 92 my Noni can't really make jam anymore, but believe me when I say she's just as lively as ever. Definitely check out this post!

Next week I will be hosting a guest post green DIY too. I can't wait!

Thanks for stopping in!
I hope you have a fantastic Friday!

  5. we used to have a HUUUGE garden (we live in the country) but when we got horses, they took over the place! :) so we don't can too much anymore unless we get vegtables and fruits from neighbors to can. i can still picture my mom over that stove during the hot summer days, canning her heart out, as the big whistling pot rattled away... great memories as a kid. :)

  7. I love this.

    My great nan used to make the best mulberry jam and fig jams.
    I used to watch her make jame with her old (and really heavy) pot on top of the open fire farm stove.

    We were allowed to taste a little bit and it always tasted better than anything store bought.

    I really want to make some jam now.
