\nI am very excited to host this giveaway of canning goodies!
\n\"canning-mosaic\"
\nOne of the best instructional books I’ve read in awhile is Canning and Preserving with Ashley English: All you Need to Know to Make Jams, Jellies, Pickles, Chutneys & More<\/em>. Ashley is the blog author of Small Measure<\/a>, one of my favorite reads and a great tribute to homemade living. Canning & Preserving<\/em> is one of her first books in a series called Homemade Living<\/strong> and it’s a terrific guide for anyone who wants to start canning. I’ve read it cover to cover and am SO ready to begin making my own homemade goodies.
\n
\nI first met Ashley through her blog, where she was having a monthly giveaway of one of the canned creations from her book. I was the lucky winner of the September giveaway of Fig & Thyme Jam. It was so delicious that I had to send her a special thank you and I created tags for her canning jars. That sparked the creation of my own line of canning tags & labels. I asked for Ashley’s input on what she would look for and she graciously gave me her advice in the middle of a book deadline. I can’t thank her enough for taking the time and for sharing her expert opinion.
\n
\nThe giveaway includes one copy of Canning and Preserving with Ashley English: All you Need to Know to Make Jams, Jellies, Pickles, Chutneys & More<\/em>, one set of 12 canning tags and one set of canning labels in the winner’s choice of design. The giveaway will run from today until next Monday, May 10 at noon. A winner will be selected and announced Monday afternoon.
