The Moosewood Cookbook--a gift from my parents for my 16th birthday and one that really got me interested in cooking.

I’ve canned before, but never as seriously as this summer. So far I’ve made apricot, strawberry, and sour cherry jams, tomato and red pepper-apricot chutneys, and blueberry-orange and apricot-orange marmalades. I love having those jars stored up like treasure for winter.

My Ball Blue Book has gone missing so if you pick me for your drawing I promise to put it to good use. Thanks for posting all the links!
