The week has been crazy and ended with me coming home and finding out the results of my canning entries in the Santa Barbara Fair and Expo. I am very pleased with the results and will definitely work on the entries for the next fair in July. All of the recipes for my winners are on this site and I hope that you will take the time to try to make these for your upcoming spring planting season or your county fair!
