This recipe is from my Grandma Bea's Mother Galena Wigdahl. My Grandma once told me she learned a lot from her Mother and Grandmother; sewing, canning and the piano. Her father Oliver was a Lutheran Pastor and she had 3 sisters and 1 brother, who are all now gone. We had a lot of fun with her family over the years, such wonderful people that are so missed.

This recipe is easy and I bet very yummy! I have never canned anything, but maybe this winter I will give it a try. I love mason jars for other uses, and these little ones are so cute. I could see making jam or caramel and giving them as gifts with homemade bread! Oh boy, I am suddenly sounding like Laura Ingalls Wilder :)
