Hi Achternaam,

Isn't it funny how your tastes change?

For example, I love canning beets. In fact, beets are one of MY favorite vegetables now. But I remember when I was a kid thinking that beets tasted like dirt. What was I thinking?

Along those lines, this week's newsletter features a few links on vegetables. Let me challenge you: If there's a vegetable you didn't like growing up, try it again this year. You never know what you might enjoy now, and you might just find something new for your pantry this year too.

Canning Vegetables - As we head into the primary growing season for most of the country, you may have lots of produce that needs preserved quickly. Save this page to reference later. It lists all of my canning vegetable recipes in one place!
