Can It! It’s Jelly Time!

~

I LOVE canning!! Don’t you? If you don’t, you should! It’s so simple to keep your garden veggies, salsas, and fruits longer, doesn’t take up all your freezer space, AND it’s something fun to do with the kids. (Okay, okay, sometimes. I’ve heard not all kids like to listen, or help. Shocking, I know.) I was even lucky enough that my dad built me my own canning shelved armoire. A few months back, while the cook book development was happening, I created a few new recipes for canning, and today began trying some of them out!

A few years ago, I made up a pretty smashing recipe for spicy strawberry jelly. Many people loved it, requested more, and had multiple jars. My jellies are low sugar, and most often organic. This was true of the Organic Strawberry Jalapeno jelly. This favorite WILL be coming back for my summer sales, as will a new flavor freshly made today… Organic Strawberry Orange! It’s pretty fabulous, and has the sneakiest hint of orange. Really refreshing, and not too out there!!

We do the most canning with salsas, tomatoes, peppers, pickles, green beans, applesauce, fruits, and jellies. If stored correctly, many of these things will last up to 12 months! Many of our canning recipes will be available in our e-book, Gluten Free for Me: Can It! Book. This is due soon after the cook book is released!!
