Growing up in northern New Hampshire I used to go berry picking with my mother and grandmother. At that young age I learned how to can. In 1984 my first child was born, Carrie. We lived in a small apartment where we use to pick grapes every fall. I would make grape jelly for Christmas gifts and it quickly became a tradition.
As my family grew with Joel and Jamie so did my canning. I would can all sorts of wicked goodies to help buy school clothes for my children. With a customer base quickly growing my variety of canned good flourished. I was canning everything from Hot Pepper Jelly to Dilly Beans. Most of what I can comes from our own garden or purchased from local farm stands. With fresh goat manure from our goats, we always have the most beautiful garden on the hill.
