These beautiful mums on our kitchen table were a thank you gift from a young friend of mine. (Lulu’s Musings should be proud of my decorated table inspired by her posts!!) She had asked me to teach her how to can. She made apple butter and brought it over to can at our house.
Canning gets such a bad rap. I hear all the time about why people don’t can because it’s so much work. The truth is canning is not the work, it’s preparing what is going into the jars that is SO much work.
When we were finished, which took all of 25 minutes as the apple butter had been prepared ahead of time, she was pleasantly surprised how easy canning truly is. She is going to make another batch for Christmas gifts and can them on her own.
And another canner is born 🙂

Awe! Love that you are sharing! More people need to learn. It is easy and I would say apple butter was the perfect place to start! I had a friend ask to come help me can. She never plans to learn but said it reminded her of spending time in her grand mother’s kitchen.
