This was very educational. It's so nice you're teaching your girls how to can at an early age. That's something I would have really benefited from learning as a child and teen. That was a wonderful deal for the baby carrots. Love baby carrots and home canning is the best. You're very accomplished and definitely well planned Laura.
Those carrots look so pretty in the jars! We just canned carrots last week from our garden. This was the first year we had a decent carrot harvest. Love to see how you include your daughters in your cooking & preserving in the kitchen. So many young moms don't let their youngsters help in the kitchen. I have 2 teenage daughters and they love to cook & bake. I think because they spent so much time in the kitchen helping me & their grandma when they were younger has paid off! I don't comment often, but love watching your sweet family and your daily activities on your homestead. God bless ☺
This is our first year being successful with carrots too! Now that I have figured out a system that works, I definitely plan to plant triple next year so we have some to can
What I'm understanding is that itnisnthe newer, Ball jars which don't handle oven sanitizing as well; the glass is made differently than in times past but, I don't know when the switch occurred.
