Getting Canned!

I have reached a new level in my domestication and I have been canned. Actually I took a chance yesterday and made and CANNED Apple Butter Jam. I altered my Grandma's recipe a little and I was really worried about how it would turn out. Well the verdict is in from Marcos...."It's Awesome". I wasn't sure if he was just saying that to make me feel good so I tried it myself and sure enough...it is awesome! I have never canned anything myself and I had only seen it done. I have to say it wasn't as hard as I thought. Thanks to my friend Steff for the moral support over the phone about how the lid should pop. I am glad to say that all four of the jars I made wound up sealing so we are safe! I did go and purchase one of those cool peeler things so that I wouldn't have to peel all the apples again!
