Canning for Christmas




I planned on giving Mulberry Jam in gift baskets for Christmas this year.  I underestimated how much we liked it. Mark went down to the root cellar to bring some jars up and that is when we realized we only had one jar left!  I gave the last jar to my grandmother and gave the rest blackberry or blueberry lime jam instead. Next year we will need to plan our gift basket giveaways a little earlier...and keep the jars seperate from our stash!!  Hoping to add some more variety to the baskets than just jam next year.  Maybe some pickles, or sundae topping... We did bake up a storm, and make lots of fudge and peanut brittle, too. It was a good year.
