After the unexpected loss of our first grandchild Rosemary, I began to find joy by filling my time in my backyard garden, as well as local orchards and fields picking produce. Out of that abundance of produce grew a love of canning and sharing those delicious tastes with others. Nearly all fruits, vegetables, and herbs were harvested by me, and are from local farms. Upon many suggestions from family and friends, I have decided to offer my sweet and savory items to a broader group. Each batch has been created using approved research-backed jam recipes from either the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) or the reputable Ball canning brand. Additionally, all jams were processed safely and properly in a water bath to prevent mold and bacteria growth. I hope you find something to enjoy! Welcome to…
