The Kitchenette, I really wasn’t channeling Zoolander intentionally when I wrote that line. I was just sleepy and lacking in creativity. I am happy to be your vintage canning jar support group, I’m totally addicted.

Tim, all that picture is trying to say is that the more you buy, the more you save. They’ll sell you 1 quart for $6, 2 quarts for $9 or 4 quarts for $12.

Mel, I’m so glad the recipe worked for you! And you don’t need to bring a thing to the class, just yourself and plenty of energy.

I used your sour cherry recipe as a base for making a jam out of bing cherries last night…it’s WONDERFUL. I love how it’s not too sweet, and has a wonderful richness to it.

I also found a use for the foam I skimmed off the cherries—I put it aside, and then once it cooled I spooned some into my yogurt, and it was delicious. I had also used some lemon juice in my jam, which came through in the foam.

Lastly, I signed up for your tomato canning class—I’m so excited! Is there any equipment we should bring from home? I understand that supplies will be provided.

I’m a bit confused by the pic. Aren’t 4 cups equal to 1 quart? Or is that saying if you were to buy 4 cups separately they would cost that much compared to the savings of buying in bulk?

“Canning is so hot right now” – am I the only one who heard this as a Zoolander reference?

Also, since reading your blog I’ve been having inordinate cravings to collect vintage canning jars. I’m hoping there is a support group.
