I recommend the Ball Blue Canning book for starters.<br /><br />Laura,<br />The bright pink is chokecherry juice. It's got no sugar so it's very bright and pretty. When it's cooked down with sugar, it's a deep burgundy color.<br /><br />Island Sparrow,<br />Your pantry sounds full of good things too! I have corn in my freezer too. Mustard pickles sound really good.<br /><br />JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-21729336356711203502009-09-25T10:50:08.533-06:002009-09-25T10:50:08.533-06:00What a lovely looking pantry - I have strawberry j...What a lovely looking pantry - I have strawberry jam, frozen berries and 20 jars of mustard pickles - but I am planning some more. It's a must in our household.<br /><br />Mmm apple crisp - I think it's my favourite dessert. Our apples aren't quite ripe yet.

But when I look at your pictures, I think how satisfying it would be to have a pantry full of preserves to last us the winter.<br /><br />francesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-69542076764474226352009-09-23T08:55:50.180-06:002009-09-23T08:55:50.180-06:00Sweet Home Livin',

The natural colors of foods really are beautiful, aren't they?<br /><br />Thimbleanna,<br />Yes, I've been plugging along with my canning, a little at a time. Hoping you'll have some nice cool-ish fall days.<br /><br />Leslie,<br />I'm really excited about the tomatoes. As I said, the years prior to this one haven't been so productive.<br /><br />STorybook Woods,<br />Happiness IS a full pantry!<br /><br />Elsie,<br />Yes, it makes me feel very good about heading into winter with a full cupboard of varied canned goods.
