Oh my golly...we have gone from rain every afternoon to icky, sticky humidity..BIG TIME!
Unfortunately I don't have a nice cool cellar or breezeway to do my canning but we have come up with the next best thing. My husband put up the pop-up tent and the campstove out on the deck and I am processing the jars out there! LOL It actually is working out pretty good. The house is still 78* with the a/c on. I can't imagine what it would be with the canner going at full speed ahead too!
I cook up a batch and jar it in the house and take out to the cookstove to keep warm until I get a whole canner full.
As I was making Wrangler & Red Raspberry last night, I looked for a recipe on SBCanning's blog, Canning Homemade, and found a delicious Red Raspberry Vanilla Jam! Of course my good friend Cindy uses her words more eloquently than I do, (LOL) so I will just say it is dang good! I love the taste of vanilla. It has just enough to give it a little sweeter taste than the plain red raspberry.
Today, I did six batches of Friki Tiki Colada. It is a summertime favorite! And as I was getting my fresh blueberries from the freezer, I thought about something different to do with them. It didn't take me long! I have fallen in love with a drink at a restaurant called FlipSide. They have the most amazing Blueberry Lemonade! So, that is my attempt later on this afternoon. I have a feeling with my ingredients, it will be a hit also.
I have some new shelving units to put my canning equipment on, so I will take a break from canning and do some housework. Enjoy your day my friends! Be blessed and full of praise.
