#140 Crab Apple Canning (09/28/12)

Just a little post on our canning ventures so far.  The 11 little jars are crab apple butter, aka Chutney, or spicy jam.  It turned out a little runny, but still pretty good for our first try.  Woohoo.  All but to snapped closed.  So they are the first two we will use, after the left over bowl we didn't fit into the small jars we had.  So many preserves, so little time, and so little jars.  I guess we need to stock up.  We thought 1 dozen of each size should be plenty, WRONG.  We have the big ones left, but they will get used quickly enough I imagine.  The jam size and the next size up are going to be our preference I think.




The four big jars were our first attempt at canning in general, and are straight, no sugar added apple sauce, same as the baggies.
