Welcome to February!
Are you ready for another month of Can It Up? And a new selected ingredient? Last month’s player’s choice was fun…but a bit overwhelming!
Let’s Can It Up!
- First, review the Can It Up ground rules.
- During the month of February (that means up to February 28th), 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 March 1st.
- 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 February 28th. 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.
February’s selected ingredient is carrots! Carrots should be your preserve’s shining star!

Hey there! I just found your blog. I’m going to look around a bit. Thanks for the chance to win!
Jodi, good luck!
I love the carrot theme… my job is trying to develop better carrots, including the growing area of colored carrots. I also love to can anything I can get my hands on. We’re crazy busy right now at work harvesting fresh carrots… hopefully I can find some time before the end of the month to make something for your contest. Regardless, I look forward to seeing all of the entries.
Amy, I love the idea of using colored carrots! Hmmm…I may need to do this.
Just found your blog (via FIJ) and look forward to participating!!
Jesse, good luck!
Have not canned carrots yet but I’m definitely up for a new challenge. I just discovered your blog and I love what I’ve seen so far.
Becky, can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I grow most all my vegetables, but have never grown the different color carrots. Think this year might just be the first.
SharonF, yes! Now I need to find some purple carrots.
Glad to have found you. Thanks for the chance to win your cool and useful book!!
Lori, good luck!
Oh my goodness, how have I not seen this blog before?! I just discovered this from Marisa at Food in Jars. Now it’s time for me to obsessively read through every entry ever, brb! 😛
Kelly, enjoy!
Also found you via food in jars. Can’t wait to explore your site!
Suzanne, thanks!
Also found you from Facebook posting by Marisa of Food in Jars. How did it happen that I did not know about you before?!
Rhonda, welcome!
I am so happy to discover your site! I have canned a little for years but really did it in earnest this year. Just canned Orange Cranberry Chutney (http://artofnaturalliving.com/2014/02/05/orange-cranberry-chutney-winter-preserving/) since I had to do some winter canning too!
I Wilkerson, yay for winter canning!
