10 pounds of strawberries
Massive amounts of sugar
Pectin
Sweet new pressure cooker from your wonderful in-laws
Darling little half pint and pint jars
Lids and rings
The official Ball Canning Guide Book
A mama to call for advice and encouragement
A slight head injury to be crazy enough to try canning in the tiniest kitchen ever
A husband to take embarrassing video of you (optional)
Here's the first batch all filled up
Bathtime
And oh the joyful sound of the popping as the lids seal! My mom told me this was like music to her ears, and The Pioneer Woman called it a blessed symphony. I felt like I was in third grade jumping up and down and counting out loud as each one made it's little POP! The sound of provident living success.
The finished product
Say nice things about me and I'll send you some.
