I CAN can!

I know this isn't travel related, but I had to share this memory-in-the-making in honor of L'Ma. Seeing Joan renewed my interest in canning, having finally healed the festering sore about memories never made, and secure in the knowledge that Jan would not begrudge me doing it without her. In fact, I could swear I heard her whisper, "You and John are right. I would have never had the patience for that!" as I pulled out my little golden jellies from their boiling bath :) I have no idea how these turned out yet, but I'm just proud that I tried it.

I decided to try a relatively easy-sounding, herb jelly recipe. This batch is viola, mint and lemon balm. I can't wait to try it on my homemade, toasted sourdough!
