You really do want to preserve, don't you? Mmmmmmmmmm.
Auntie Jane's Good Stuff is dedicated to sharing the rewards of home canning, it is a totally pleasureable, wonderful experience that results in tasty year-round good eating for your family and friends. Nothing is more appreciated as a gift than a jar of home preserves, and the sense of accomplishment and reward at looking at your larder is second to none. It doesn't take all that much time after you start. And the thrill of seeing your own efforts on the counter is terrific!
