I recently got your book, Preserving by the PInt. I have to tell you I am having a great time with it. Interesting combinations and I have been inspired to take off on my own and figure out new combos. I am accustomned to canning big amounts and have the major canning equipment so it has been fun doing little batches. Just wanted to say thanks for the ideas.
I am so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the book! Thank you for letting me know!
Congratulations,!! How exciting
:/ No Colorado dates. Sad day. 🙁
