I love canning. Ever since I was little I have watched my Mom and Grandma can every Fall. Everything from salsa to grape juice. What would Autumn be with out a little canned goodness? Well, this year we had a million grapes on our vine and my Mom had a few apples on her apple trees so I decided to make juice. It is pretty easy it is just time intensive. Well, that is what I thought.... but I guess the last time I trieds it I didn't have a two year old. Well one weekend later we have about 30 quarts of juice and still a million grapes on the vine. I always said if I could get 70 quarts we would be good for a year. We are well on our way.... Wine anyone? ( Non-alcoholic, I think!)

YUMMY!!!!! Next time Lyn and I come over you will have to let us try some!! I love canning also. But once I am 50 jars into it I get very sick of it. HA! and with children it is SOOOO much harder.
What no apple butter? I would give my right arm for a jar of Grandma's apple butter!
Wow...you just made me tired. Canning is so hard! Good for you!
