The weather outside may be frightful, but did you know February is National Canned Food month?
If you haven’t celebrated this momentous occasion already, make a point of toasting somebody this month with a Ball jar. Hopefully one filled with delicious summertime preserves.

Eating this home canned garden salsa just now took me back to at least August.


Hi Jessie, it’s Jennifer from the Red Hen. I saw this and thought of you:

Hi Jen: So funny you sent that link. My cookbook coauthor, Kelly Geary, is very good friends with that designe; we’ve thought of hiring her to do illustrations for the book. I’ll have to forward your note to Kelly! Best, JK
