Hey Look I've got a Blog!

Yippie! My first blog post!

It's unseasonably cool today and quite cloudy - the perfect weather for making and canning jam!

I wish I had smell-o-vision technology. The kitchen smells wonderfully fruity and sweet. We are making rhubarb-berry jam with the rhubarb from our farm garden.

You should see all of the rhubarb we've harvested so far this season. I found this great recipe. It's so simple that I'm almost embarrassed to share it! It's a freezer jam but I've been wanting to try my hand at canning. I don't have all of the right equipment but we made it work anyway. It was kind of fun, a bit messy but we ended up with 8 pint and 6 half pint jars of some very tasty jam. Not bad for our first adventure in canning.

Yum!
