Did you know that August is National Canning Month? And did you know that Ball celebrated it's anniversary this week? Gee, it's almost like we planned this or something! It sure has been a great week! We're so glad everyone joined in on the fun. We had lots of great recipes you all shared with everyone. The canning post contest winner is over at Ott,A's page. Congrats to everyone who entered. Whether you're an old pro or a canning newbie, I hope everyone was able to find some useful information here. We'll keep the Facebook page up as a resource for everyone and future Canning Weeks (do I see a sequel coming??).

A HUGE thank you to Jane from Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms for being our guest judge (and giving out her cookbook to the winner!!!) and promoting our canning efforts.
Don't forget you can also buy her book on Amazon! I just bought a copy for my mom. It was supposed to be a surprise, but if she reads this, then I guess she'll know it's coming!
I hope everyone enjoyed this as much as we did!

I really enjoyed the recipes for canning. I would like to try the peach honey sounds great.
I freeze the tomato juice and use it all winter Just nice to have something you made to eat.
Great job Jen! You and Ott. A did an awesome job sharing your knowledge and fun ideas. Time to put a lid on it. ;-)
Speaking of Ball, our daughter worked at Ball State University while her husband was a grad student there. When I told one of my friends that they were at Ball State and lived in Muncie, IN - she said, 'Yeah, that's where they made Kerr jars, isn't it?' LOL
It's amazing what comes out of people's mouths sometimes! I went to Ball State and a lot of my family still lives in Muncie. I remember freshman orientation when they spent almost 2 hours talking about the Ball brothers. Every time I can, I have a mild flashback to that day!
I didn't get to try canning this year, but maybe next year. I have enjoyed seeing everyone's photos of their canning goodies on all the differnt blogs out there!
