Make Preserves This Summer

Berry season is just around the corner! Teach your kids how to can their very own preserves. The equipment is not very expensive and will pay for itself when you stock your pantry for the winter.

Hi Cindy,
Homemade preserves make terrific Christmas gifts. Children would love to make their own labels for the jars!

An alternative to canned predserves is fruit leather. so after the cupboard's full of jams and jelly, break out a dehydrator
Good mixes include: -stawbwerry/apple - bueberry/pear - rasberry/and anything, (strain half of the seeds from the rasberry puree)and blackberry? pear or apple rhubarb mixes well with cherries, apple, strawberry and pear

Puree the fruit and pour onto lined trays, about 1/8to1/4" thick
if you use cereal box liners to line the trays then when the fruit leather comes out it needs only to be flipped over on it's liner and rolled up
I have an american harvest snackmaster (my mom got tired of lending me hers and got it for me) and would highly reccomend it
