Can you guess what I made yesterday and the day before? go a head guess...I'll give you a hint. It's really good with crackers and cream cheese. I made 3 batches. The first I messed up and it didn't set. I have to remember to actually read directions and follow them! So I took the messed up stuff to my 
tops group and gave them away. The 2nd and 3rd set fine....I've made these for fathers day for my dad and my FIL. I am trying to figure out what to do with the rest of it all..Yes canning is so addictive! I couldn't stop myself. And I even have more in my fridge if I decide to make a 4th batch. Not to mention I'm obsessive and I had to fix what I messed up the first time so I had to make it again to make sure I can do it.. Which is where the 3rd batch came from. The 2nd was a low sugar recipe. I figure I'll send some to family but that still leaves me with some.
Any ideas?

OOOO I know what you mean. I started canning last year and I went hog wild.
I have my Grandmother's bread and butter pickle recipe. I made so many cans of them and it's a good thing I did. I can't tell you how many people asked for more.
Now last year I lived in a SMALL town and it got around that I was the pickle girl. I had people I had never met asking me for pickles.
I'm actually glad we don't live there this summer :-)
I have a case of pickleing cukes on order for me.
I'll have to send you some one they are made up!
Oh and I love the fabric that you put on the lids. Did you leave the edges raw, or did you hem them?
I may steal your idea!
i love pepper jelly on cream cheese! one of my favs!! i will trade you some yarn for some of your perserves ;)
Allena ~ Here in New Mexico what you made is a food staple! We put chili on everything! (eggs, pizza, hambugers!) We even have an offical chili question! (Red or Green!) (Really it's true ~ It's the official state question of New Mexico!) Have fun with your chili! How about takeing it to your Women's Bible Study or Retreat!
What a clever idea to use that fabric for your jelly! A friend gifted us with some pepper jelly last year and I hope to make some myself this year with my hubby's (hopefully!) bumper crop. Can you share where you got your recipe?
