First I talk about the biggest canning mistake I’ve ever made in my kitchen.  Then, I walk you through three simple recipes I use that take advantage of home canned goods while also making a great addition to your meals.

Sometimes you can work really hard on something only to have the whole thing go wrong because of the simplest of mistakes.  Other times, the simplest combination of ingredients can bring about delightful – and tasty – results.   In today’s show you get some of each.
