It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2009 and begin a new year. I’m so excited. I began my canning adventures this year and I’ve had so much fun. During my 2009 canning adventures, I canned several different kinds of jams, marmalades, pickles, and salsa throughout the Summer and Fall. I thought you might enjoy seeing the fruits of my labor.
I could almost open a store with all of these jars. Now there’s an idea! Actually, I gave most of these away as Christmas presents along with some delicious breads. However, I did keep some of each kind of jam for my canning supply.
Here is a list of the jams I made from August – December 2009. I’ve included a link to the ones I posted on the blog in case you would like to try some of them for yourself. I’ll be posting more soon. Stay tuned…

Beautiful preserves! I’m overwhelmed. I do some canning, but you are a Queen Bee. Happy 2010.

Thank you Cristie! I did go a little canning crazy this year. Probably need to tone it down a bit in 2010. But I sure had fun!
