Adventures in canning

So, I have been all jazzed about home food preservation. I've been itching to get started on something... anything. So when I found this recipe for year round apricot jam I thought it would be just the ticket. I just knew it would satisfy my need to test out the process of home canning using the boiling water method (as opposed to the pressure cooker method, given that as yet I have no pressure cooker to speak of) AND, it can be made with readily available ingredients. So, as an added bonus, if I completely botched it I wouldn't have to cry over wasted freshly homegrown goods.

I pulled the jars out of the boiling water about 1/2 hour ago, and so far, all looks good! Won't know for sure until tomorrow evening at the soonest.
Yay!
