Thanks for stopping by! I live on a farm in rural Ohio with my husband Josh, our kiddo Jase, our four rescues dogs, and too many chickens to count. We have a big veggie garden and we are trying our best to become just a little bit more self-sufficient, one thing at a time. I grew up on a horse farm and even though I moved into town to go to college I always knew I would end up back in the country. After all, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl! I am happiest when I'm cooking a meal from scratch in the kitchen or up to my elbows in dirt in the garden. I love the idea of knowing where my food has come from and raising our kids so that they knows the same. Water-bath canning is a method of preserving high-acid foods and its the process we use. Canning is fun, fantastic, and cost-effective way to make jams, jellies, and pickled vegetables. It's a is a great way to preserve excess produce from summer and enjoy all year.
