As most of you know during the summer I took the big plunge of moving up north to Washington. There have been many challenges but my biggest was is that I am all electric no gas. I don't think I ever realized how important gas is to canning. Many women have told me that they do can with electric but I have an electric top with glass it's a sensitive thing. But I just found a two burner propane outdoor camping stove that I will be using for my canning. Problem one solved! The weather has been delightfully cold and I have found a few different things that have taken some of my time getting my house organized, finding a mahjong group, getting my quilting and watercolors all set for the snowy season. Thus far Washington especially in my area has not gotten the snow they want except for the skiers are getting everything they want. But all in all this is good for me as I'm from Southern California so I'm used to Sunshine and bare feet.
Well this is a short post just wanted to show you where I'm at now and what I'm doing I'll add a few pictures and get this adventure started. Keep coming back I will post a least once a week if not more.
Lani!!!! So good to see your new home. I too have an electric glass top, the manufacture says i can water bath can, which i have done. But I do not trust it for pressure canning. I am learning the ins and outs of canning in 70-80% humidity in TN. So glad you are enjoying your new home.
