Oh how nice..a designated pantry just for food..my pantry looks like a storage room that happens to have food in it..

Thank you. I had a designated shelf, but it was too deep, and things were getting lost and not rotated the way I wanted. Now I can easily see and reach everything.

Pickled eggs with zip...we like em hot here. First time processing though, I usually do fridge pickled eggs. As far as canning goes, I usually do jams so I was so happy they sealed

I have used agave in jams..however it wound up being syrup.lol. I don't use pectin typically and so I wasn't thinkin, hey your putting liquid in here, get pectin. However, the jams all sealed..and lasted till they were all ate. And they tasted good. Like real sugar. If I did it again , I would get pectin.

I wonder how a sugar-free version of your recipe would be??? have you ever considering trying monkfruit in place of the sugar??
