My home state of North Dakota is also pretty kitchen crafty, but not quite as much so as Utah. Definitely a food storage magnifier going on, IMO.<br /><br />I'll give you some of my Yum Plum jam. It is super tasty and does not have botulism. And after the earthquake hits, you can share our supply of jam and beer. We have lots of both.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896006691904225007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-44484968918186725252010-09-16T15:07:55.553-06:002010-09-16T15:07:55.553-06:00KristenT- Yes they are loaded with vitamin C, so w...KristenT- Yes they are loaded with vitamin C, so when the apocalypse comes and we can't get OJ at the supermarket, we can forage for hips.<br /><br />(Of course I will be holed up at <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_6LWjP0sZ22w/SrrwQLeFKAI/AAAAAAAAGHg/NevGbViWbNs/s1600-h/SunsetJupiterFinder4.jpg" rel="nofollow">SBJ's house</a>, subsisting on sales and peaches.)Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-4325010349164758192010-09-15T14:06:58.157-06:002010-09-15T14:06:58.157-06:00Aren't rose hips supposed to be high in vitami...Aren't rose hips supposed to be high in vitamin C? <br /><br />I've never canned anything. I don't think I'd be good at it, and I'd always be creeped out about if there's botulism or salmonella in the jars.<br /><br />I have, however, dried my share of fruits. Apricots, apples, Italian prunes, blackberries, fruit leather... yummy.KristenThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187723351100391708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-72561407546215543722010-09-14T21:19:40.631-06:002010-09-14T21:19:40.631-06:00SBJ- I'm looking forward to it and am sure it ...SBJ- I'm looking forward to it and am sure it will be delicious; you guys are way Utah-Kitchen-Crafty!Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199848742267562587.post-19878921537619966912010-09-14T16:28:09.675-06:002010-09-14T16:28:09.675-06:00I've got a jar of salsa for you--I'll brin...I've got a jar of salsa for you--I'll bring it next time we're out on a ride.

So many nights Mom and Dad would be like, "How about dessert?" and we'd get all excited and then Dad would suddenly produce one of those creepy jars from the basement and we'd be like totally crestfallen...
