A place to record my canning and food preservation activities.

WARNING: Do NOT transport home-grown fruit into or through a pest-free area. These areas are often denoted with warning signs as you drive into them.

All fruit used in these recipes are locally sourced (about 5 blocks from my house) or commercially grown. Fresh homegrown fruit should NEVER be transported into or through a pest-free area as this can introduce destructive pests to local orchards, decimating crops and people’s livelihoods.
