About Me
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.

Ugh! I hate when that happens! Thankfully it isn't too often. Sorry for your woes :(
That is not very pretty! Sorry. Wish there was a way to tell it was weak before you canned something.
OH NO!!
Apple Pie Gal - This is my second one this year . . . but I bet I've done close to a hundred jars so that's not bad, eh?
Judy - I know! My husband just asked me, "But WHY does that happen?" I always inspect the jars but you sure can't tell when one is going to go.
Erin - Guess it goes to prove you shouldn't count your canned food before it's canned! I was feeling good about getting 8 more jars of pickled beets today . . . but it turned out to be 7!
I'm so sorry. This is one of my least favorite canning incidents- especially when it occurs inside the canner- yuck!
ThyHand - I was really lucky (?) with this one. All the pickling brine leaked out, of course, but only one slice of beet came out of the jar even when I picked it up out of the canner!
Aww shucks, that's just no fun:(
I gave you the lovely blog award, for always having such wonderful and uplifting advice for me and everyone who visits:) Thank you!! You can get the badge here:

Stephanie - You are a real sweetie. Thanks so much!
Question: Does that happen before they're put in the pantry? That is not a surprise I'd like to find after I'd put everything away.
Conny - I've never heard of a jar breaking after being put in the pantry/storage. It's always happened to me in the canner usually right when I put the jar in the boiling water. (Heck, I'd crack, too, if somebody submerged me in boiling water. Hahahohoheehee!) I have heard of a jar being stored with a lid that wasn't really sealed and later being found with a rotten, ooey-gooey mess oozing all over everything. (Sorry for the visual but I know it has happened.)
