About
My name is Kelli and I live in the southern mid-west. I learned to can fruits and vegetables when I was eight years old, from my grandmother. She taught me everything she knew and I have kept that knowledge with me for a very long time. I like to can, mostly making jelly, jam, and marmalade as a hobby. I am not a purist nor am I obsessed with not using sugar or pectin. I really enjoy the process of canning and love to learn new things that other canners might be willing to share. I hope you enjoy my blog and will contribute as often as you like!












Wow what a great site! Thanks so much for posting all this. I am looking forward to really learning some new things here!

Fellow Okie?
Yes, Norman. One of my other blogger friends (Food Stories) lived here while her husband went to college and then I was reading something on her blog the other day and she either referred to you or you commented or something so I went to your blog – loved it then I saw the Oklahoma blogger Ring thing and knew you had to be an Okie too! : )
