It's so great having canned tomatoes for the long winter months! My favourite jam recipe is the Plum Compote from 101 Cookbooks-- has a hint of rose that makes it extra special. http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/rosewater-plum-compote-recipe.html How gorgeous!

My sister & I recently took a Pickle-Canning Class and the gal that taught us had some DELICIOUS Dilly Beans that she'd canned previously, and let us taste-test. Oh my goodness, they were sooooo good! The recipe is in the Ball Blue Book...can't wait to try some. Your photos & canned goods look so yummy!

I'm so jealous of you, attending all these classes on fascinating everyday subjects... I wish I could too! I've been wanting to try canning for so long but first I need to find myself a mentor... my granny is a city girl so she can't help me! This is wonderful!

In Ward 31 we're using our donated share of our urban harvest to bulk up the cupboards of the Shoelace Collective's lunch programme with yummy preserves. So far we've done apple pie filling, pears in syrup, ginger-pear preserve, salsas, chutneys, sauces.... To learn more about urban harvesting, to let us know about a tree near you that might need picking or to try out a little preserving of your own drop by the website and register as a volunteer then just watch your e-mail.
