Commercial Juice Jelly, Tattler Lids, a Steam Canner, and My Niece


Yes, I took on all of those challenges in one day, all at the same time! And maybe not in that exact order. You know that triumphant feeling you get when you try something new–the high, the ecstaticness–and it works? I think I’ve been having a craving for that lately. The Retreat was the last…

This Stuff’s Bananas!


B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! – Gwen Stephani, it’s a song — No? Are you sure? [dancing] B-A-N-A-N-A-S? No? Moving on then — check out my cake! I had never played with fondant before, so this was a lot of fun. All though, my husband did say they looked like blue goat turds. He has a point. Quick back…

Fuitcake Cookies


My MIL made the only thing I actually liked using the old fashioned citron fruit mix – a very soft cookie. Not a bar, just a regular cookie. Not particularly spicy, and more sponge cake like than a normal cookie. For some reason, the citron tasted good in this particular cookie. Other than in this...

Sweet Pickled Crab Apples


When I was a kid, my aunt used to can crab apples that I loved. Never thought to ask her for the recipe when she was alive, but a friend has a crab apple tree so loaded with crab apples, that some of the branches are touching the ground. When she told me that I...
