self reliance

Project self-reliance is in full swing!  First step:  canning.  Step two:  gardening.  Step three:  sewing.  In the early winter, I successfully made a few batches of cran-strawberry jam.  I've got a 5-gallon bucket (need a big crock in the worse sort of way!) of pickles brewing as I write.  I'll finish those up in the morning, and I'm searching for ideas on my next canning project!  I LOVE this new-found hobby!
