Canning

I've never canned/preserved/jellied/jammed/juiced before, so I jumped and the chance to learn from my mom-in-law who is a long time veteran of everything that goes in a jar. Spencer's Grandma and Grandpa have an amazing garden and grow grapes, raspberries, tomatoes, and lots of other stuff. We went out and harvested the fruit and brought it in to can it! It was really fun. We made grape juice, grape jelly, canned tomatoes, and raspberry jam. It was actually really fun and neat to use stuff that was grown right outside the door! Spencer joined in and ended up really liking it! Here he is steaming grapes to get juice.

The grape juice! We're excited to try all of the things we made!
