And So It Begins...

Canning season is upon the Bag Lady's house.

Here is a little pictorial tutorial:

Clean jars:



Assembled ingredients:


(Yes, that IS a huge bowl of sugar.)

Cook jelly:


Ladle into sterilized jars, seal:



Raspberry jelly and blueberry jam:



And that is the winter supply of jelly and jam. Of course, some of these will be given away, because the Bag Lady always makes more than she and the Rancher can use.

Some of her peppers are quickly ripening, so she may make some hot pepper jelly next. The tomatoes are also starting to ripen, but there aren't enough ripe yet for any of the recipes she has planned. Soon, though.
