if you have a farm and want to add it or correct the information, please let me
know!
And if you want simple
illustrated, instructions on making and canning many common items, like how
to make jam, applesauce, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, salsa, fruit pies,
freezing vegetables, putting up peaches, green beans, etc., just click here.
