I ordered my pressure canner today!!



Well, I finally did it. =)  I ordered my pressure canner today from Walmart.com.    It is only the 16 Qt size, but I figured that would be fine for me.  Plus in the description it said it is ideal for flat top, ceramic stoves.  I was worried about that.  I found some information at pickyourown.org that said most flat top ceramic stoves won't get hot enough for a pressure canner.  So hopefully the description was correct.  Now I just have to get the Ball Blue Book, all the little gadgets I will need and of course all my jars and lids.  Yay!  I am very excited!

~About Me and My Blog~


This is where I come to reflect on my life and weigh how I am doing in regard to the goals I have for myself. Some such goals are to have a closer walk with my Lord and Savior, work on making my marriage stronger, keep a well run home and make healthier living choices for me and my family. We are usually quite busy in the summer time showing our horses and my daughter is a cheerleader, not to mention working outside around here and gardening. I like the idea of growing our own food and canning it, but I have never tried it. I would love to learn. Winter time will slow down some and we spend more time on inside activities such as crafts, stamping and scrapbooking. I also want to do some baking this year.. and maybe attempt some Strawberry Freezer Jam with my daughter.

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining,
I believe in love even when I'm alone and
I believe in God even when He is silent.
