I have six half-pints of peach preserves put up. (Piroshki, I already had this planned before your kind offer, and I’m still looking forward to getting yours.) Barring catastrophe, I’m intending to try making plum jam on Saturday, and I’ve decided I need to run down to Callahan’s and find myself a canning funnel, to make it easier to pour stuph into jars without dripping all over the counter or over me. I have no idea what happened to the one I used to have—maybe I gave away in a fit when I thought I wasn’t ever going to can anything again.
I think this year is the first since 1987 that I’ve attempted ANY kind of canning whatever. If I could find a good price on a peck of tomatoes, I might even think about making ketchup again one day. It isn’t that hard to do.
