Other than grape juice, I don't can anymore because I hate doing it by myself. (Well, I do freezer jam, too. I would love to do cooked jam, but when I have done it in the past it never set properly. So I would appreciate any tips you have on that front.)<br /><br />That kind of productivity is oh SO satisfying, those jars lined up like the jewels that they are!michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-44747221428850933942011-09-07T22:24:35.584-07:002011-09-07T22:24:35.584-07:00I would never make fun of your cow.... :)I would never make fun of your cow.... :)Tyler - Danielle - Emreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965994906354301462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-14540764276344504092011-09-07T13:52:17.488-07:002011-09-07T13:52:17.488-07:00I can NOW appreciate the scripture about women and...I can NOW appreciate the scripture about women and rubies...

What pride there is in canning and when one can get the family involved it makes for choice memories. I remember my mother canning pears. She added green food coloring to the syrup so we would have green pears for holiday salads. Also just a green pear on a leaf of lettuce with cottage cheese....yummy. As far as exercising goes....well that is out the window too!!Deanna/Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570611927184750916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-75991941215818693412011-09-07T09:07:47.298-07:002011-09-07T09:07:47.298-07:00I love when you post about canning.

I just love to look at them.<br /><br />Milo would love for me to can pears. I'm never sure on where to find them. I'll have to find a tree that is begging to be picked.melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160737120907349045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-69990678580644934272011-09-07T07:41:31.095-07:002011-09-07T07:41:31.095-07:00I think you already know my feelings on this.

I wish I could can with my sisters and/or mom this fall.<br /><br />I did a workout a few weeks ago that told me to do modified push-ups (girl push-ups) for TWO MINUTES. I thought I was going to die. Then, a while later it told me to do two more minutes of push-ups. And a little while after that, two more minutes of them. Let's just say I substituted and did crunches instead. And that's why it's been a few weeks since I did the workout!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181514421028402144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-77982369876688562252011-09-07T07:24:00.842-07:002011-09-07T07:24:00.842-07:00I am going to miss canning with my Mom this year. ...I am going to miss canning with my Mom this year. <br /><br />We have only done it for 2 years now, but I LOVE it!<br /><br />Enjoy the fruits of your labor!Derek-Jenny-Kaitlynd-Ethan-Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986077977162330135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-66875018270476861072011-09-07T07:17:44.082-07:002011-09-07T07:17:44.082-07:00Oh, I love canning.
