I have a jar of cantelope jelly in the cabinet now that I bought at the Mennonites. Maybe I need to make some biscuits to make sure its okay. hmmmm ;-)
You do!!! How exciting! I haven't ever preserved cantaloupe before so this is a first shot for me. I am *so* hoping it comes out okay. I'm not Mennonite so I don't have a recipe. LOL Didn't like the recipes I found on the 'net.
Yep, you need to try that jelly and make sure it's okay. ~grin~
Mennonites and Amish have many good items available for survival including bulk foods, spices, caning goods, seeds,etc.
A good series of books to purchase is the Foxfire series.
Every old skill is described in detail exactly like the old timers did.
