Time to Can!

I got my canning pot today and now I'm all set! 

I've been reading library books about canning, I got my canning starter set, and two cases of small and large size jars.  I'm going to start simple with some Strawberry jam this weekend.  We don't have enough strawberries from our garden...we are averaging about one ripe berry a day and somehow those berries aren't sticking around for long :)

I'm hoping to do a trial run with some strawberries from the market. Then my jam making skills will be honed by the time we have a crop I can do something with here...Wish me luck!

If you're interested in the canning pot, it is made by Ball, the people that make the glass canning jars, and it came highly recommended on Amazon.
