Can It Up: May

Posted on 01 May 2013

The weather has been so wacky! We had an early spring (which doesn’t bode well for fire season), but the rest of the country has had a late one! It snowed in Denver today…which was further evidence that we did the right thing by moving back to California. I literally (albeit figuratively) wouldn’t have survived this winter.

What are we preserving with this month?

Let’s Can It Up!

• First, review the Can It Up ground rules.
• During the month of May (that means up to May 31st), please either link your post to this post using the tool below; email me your post or photo; post your post or photo in the Comments section of this post; or tweet your post or a photo using our hashtag #CanItUp. Or you can do all four! I will do a round-up on June 2nd (delayed next month since I am out of the country).
• Please mention Can It Up and link back to this post.
• To include your photo in the monthly roundup post, email it to me by May 31st. It must be at least 670 pixels wide and oriented horizontally (i.e. landscape).
• Don’t forget that your preserve must be water-bath canned. Read up on water-bath canning.

May’s selected ingredient is strawberries! I love strawberries and have been waiting (im)patiently for this month. They should be your preserve’s shining star.

P.S. If you have any questions/feedback/whatever, email me at allfourburners {{at}} gmail {{dot}} com.
