Time to Can

For all of you with vegetable gardens and fruit trees, this one's for you.  By now, you are probably up to your ears in tomatoes, cucumbers, apples and anything else ripe and ready to store away for the long winter ahead.  With this being my very first year of growing a vegetable garden, it is also my very first year of canning.  Ahhhh....canning.  This is more work than I imagined.

So if any of you who, like me, are in need of some serious help and guidance with canning duties, below are a few good web sites to help you along the way:

• Fresh Preserving
• National Center for Home Food Preservation
• Pick Your Own:  How to Can Anything

Good luck!  Oh, and I love good canning recipes:)
