First Canning Bounty!

Last week, we picked a bounty of apples and it was the perfect time to learn how to can!

So some fits and starts, I managed to get going and canned 12 8oz. jars of apple butter and 9 pints of applesauce (would have been 10 but my children wanted some right away, lol).

Here's a picture of my first canning adventure...



Out of it all, only one jar of apple butter didn't seal. Not too shabby for my first time! :) And the kids were glad because they wanted some right away.

The recipes I used came from simplycanning.com

For those of you who think you can't do it, let me just say that it's a lot easier than you think! If this city girl can do it you certainly can (pardon the pun). :)
