If you have followed 3 Winks Design very much, you know that Helen loves to can! (That's me!) The best time to can in Phoenix is of course in the winter months when the summer heat is not making you feel like killing anyone who turns on a stove. The problem with canning in winter is knowing where to get the produce to can! Well, I've had some adventures with that this week and lucky for me, I've been able to keep my canners busy!

I recently wrote a post about my experience with juicing pomegranates. You can read it here if you missed it. Of course, the reason I was juicing pomegranates was to end up with the beautiful product of pomegranate jelly!
If you follow this blog, you know that I love making jams and jellies. But, I had never made pomegranate jelly before, so this was a learning experience for me! This post contains affiliate links.

I have been sharing handmade gift ideas with you lately. I've been pretty busy and productive making these and these for family, neighbors and friends as I prepare for Christmas this year. Making things myself really helps to put me in the Christmas Spirit! Another very popular gift I'm working on this year are a couple of recipes for gifts in a jar. With grocery prices being so high this year, I feel like some food gifts will be appreciated by many and I have found and come up with some great recipes! Plus, I've found efficient, quick ways to pack and seal them so that making up a bunch of these gifts is a snap! First, I'll start with a couple of recipes! One uses a quart jar and one uses pint jars.

Thank you for your support. After canning 21 jars of peaches, (that is 3 canner loads), I thought I had finished with the peaches and was feeling quite accomplished when I came home on Saturday afternoon to a new box of peaches that my husband had been gifted! My first thought was, "Wait! I thought I had finished canning peaches this year!" But nope, there was another box! Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I set about deciding what to do with these! I thought about making peach butter, but my cupboard of jams, jellies and butters is so full now that when I give jam away, it still seems to multiply! (I know, I do have a habit of coming up with new jam and marmalade recipes, so it is my own fault.) Plus, I still have apples to finish processing, so I still see apple butter in my future. So, peach butter was right out.
Then I spied a recipe for peach salsa and I knew right away that was the right decision! |
