pretty tasty stuff, eh? I was really impressed too. If it ends up at the
fair, let us know how it does!!

huh...I'm thinking the whole preserving thing 'started' because we were
'cheap'.....???

now, I do it because I love being in the kitchen - I'm a foodie - always
looking for something new to try/eat/cook/bake....the preserving thing is
like a hobby for me - I don't crochet or knit, or sew or paint (well, not as
hobby), I preserve... ;-)
