You Can Do It!

Just a short little story about what really can be done.

I found a recipe for Jalapeno Jelly Chicken. I've really been wanting to try it but I ran out of pepper jelly a while back. So, I started to hunt for some more. I went to FOUR grocery stores and none of them had it. Yesterday, I was mad and decided that I would just make it myself. I stopped by the produce section and grabbed quite a few jalapenos and some red peppers.

Today, in a matter of minutes, I made four half pints of pepper jelly. I had the water bath canner, jars, lids, rings and sure jell in my food storage.

It's silly to think that I wasted a lot of aggravation hauling around four kids with me and a lot of gas trying to find something store bought that was just too easy to make. I won't do that again.

The internet is a wonderful place to find just about anything we need to know. I'm grateful for the videos, step by step instructions and recipes that are so easy to find.

You can do it!

But what recipe did you use? I'm always looking to find links to PROVEN successes. Some of my internet tries have been woefully bad!
