beautiful! I want some strawberry jam! Our strawberry plants didn't do so hot this year. But I cannot wait until canning season even more so now! DH went to an estate auction of our neighbors today and bought me an entire pickup bed load of JARS!! probably 200 of them!! He bought the contents of a shed...for $15!! there were shelves and shelves of jars, ice cream buckets, coffee cans (both plastic and metal), plywood scraps (thinking another chicken house...), LYE SOAP, and a few other random things. What a great deal! I should never ever ever have to buy jars in my LIFE!

Well I just showed all of this to DH to see if he would be interested in trying any of the recipes and he just named off almost everything!!

I know you posted a few recipes, where can I find the rest?

He likes the pickled beans, jalapenos, onions, cin apples, thai sauce, bbq beans, manwich,wing sauce, rotel, and gee I think there was more but can't remember.

I do can allot but these would be great to try something different this year.

I'll get the rest of the recipes put up in the next day or so!

Momagain1, your beans look great. Did you use dried beans? If so, how do you prepare them? I have some dried great northern beans I'd like to can. Thanks, Sandra

Peach and Nectarine Melba:

This was so yummy, I'm going to make a ton of it this year. (assuming I have a good crop of peaches, nectarines - already got the raspberries in the freezer ready to go)
