This month's notes: July 2008: Summer is here!: Blueberries are here all parts of the U.S. Strawberries are declining or gone, except the far north. Don't miss them! Blackberries are here in the South and starting in the north. Find a strawberry festival or a blueberry festival near you! Organic farms are still not common, but any that are, have the word ORGANIC by their name! Check out my easy canning instructions / recipes, canning equipment guide or How to make ice cream and ice cream making equipment and manuals
Please tell the farms you found them here - and ask them to update their information!!!

This is the same type of  standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce!. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable).
