My first canning experience

As you can tell, kids aren't the only ones who have firsts! Today was the first time I ever canned in my life! Of course I would not have done it without my canning leader Jacinthe. Canning is quite her business. However, today was her first time canning beets.



I followed her instuctions quite well I think!



We had to multi-task considering we had 5 kids in the house to take care of at the same time! They were pretty self-sufficient though, so that was good.

Look at these :



and look at the outcome of all our hard work!



I only like pickled beets a little, however there is a certain man in the house that will go through the jars quite well on his own!

I will be expecting a jar of beets at xmas, along with the Tide and toilet paper, all wrapped in lovely wrapping paper and bows.
