Hi Achternaam,

There are signs of spring everywhere! If it hasn't arrived where you live yet, it will soon - with longer days, warmer sunshine, and birds singing in the trees.

Before you know it, it will be canning season again too.

Now that things are still slow in the garden and kitchen, it's a great time to catch up on your canning videos and make sure you have everything you need beforehand.

The Canning Basics Course is a great place to get started, if you need a little help. :)

Otherwise, let's dive into some more articles!

Canning Recipes & Advice

How to Can Carrots

Canning carrots ready to add to a stew or soup. Or just heat, add some butter and sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon. Use a crinkle cutter for a fun look to your jars. And use the optional sweet syrup to make sweet carrots for a treat.

Homemade Ketchup

Yes, you can make your own ketchup to avoid artificial ingredients. This recipe met with approval from my crew. ;)
