How many jars of this did you do? Did you get a good start on your food storage?
I'm impressed!
(btw- my word verification for this comment is "vownessi". Sounds like a new nickname..... Just kidding. I don't want to be killed.
It made about 13 jars. I had extra "goo" left over so I bottled that too! I'm sure I can use it with peaches or pears!! If I could stop eating it I could put it in our food storage! :)
