It's that time of year.... It's canning season! Did you plant a garden this year or head to a pick your own? We usually plant a small garden of tomatoes and a few other things but this year we decided not too. Okay maybe it really wasn't a decision that we thoughtfully made it was maybe that our life was a bit crazy busy.
If you are new to pickling or even experienced but would like to try out some new recipes The Pickled Pantry is a great place to start. This book was written by Andrea Chesman and includes not only recipes but a wealth of information on equipment, ingredients that are used to pickle - spices etc, produce math - this one I love as it tells you produce - weight - Approximate quantity and how much it yields.
