This week for tea I am getting ready to can. Do any of you can? I have a lot of strawberries and blackberries. I have already made strawberry jam so, as you can see, the blackberries are ripe and it's time to make something with them.
I am participating in Ball's Can-It-Forward this Friday, July 22, 2016. Now in it's 6th year, Can-It Forward was born from a desire to share the joy and benefits of canning.

Tea is in this Royal Albert cup today. The pattern is Petit Point. I won that teacup from a dear blogging friend Sandi, at Rose Chintz Cottage. Thank you Sandi, I am still enjoying it!
I have my vintage apron with chicken scratch embroidery out today. Canning reminds me of my Grandmother and farm living. The tea cake is Blackberry Bread.
Blue glass mason jars and The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving provided by Ball Canning. Join me Friday and I will share a recipe out of this cookbook with my blackberries.

I was intrigued by your post title. I thought you were going to can tea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty teacup, and your bread looks delicious! I used to can a little, mostly jam. So delicious. Have fun, Sherry!
Lovely photos, I wish someone would teach me to can. My mama did back when with her childhood friend many laughing stories, Dorothy her driend had ten busy kids and mama said it was akways simething but they manage to get canning in there. I remember mamas pickles the best... I love your tea cup, I own two and really want the matxhing teapot. I enjoyed my visit dearest have a lovely evening and new week. With love Janice
ReplyDeleteA lovely tea time, Sherry! Your teacup looks right at home there. Yes, I do can, or jar. I just made strawberry jam yesterday and rhubarb jam a month ago. I plan to make mustard pickles in a few weeks too. There's nothing like home made. Thank you for sharing and linking up with me. Hope you have a lovely week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Lovely tea party today. It is always a pleasure to visit you. You have such beautiful taste! Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, I wish I had started canning some jelly myself, now you have inspired me to get busy! I did freeze a lot of blueberries! Your tea cup is really a lovely gift from Sandi... You both have great taste!
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer and enjoy all its fruits.

What a lovely teacup! I've always admired RA Petit Point pattern.
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry:
ReplyDeleteI was originally going to can this summer but haven't done it yet. I have everything I saved from the 1970's when I was in my 30's and canned. Maybe next year. This was a lovely post and I thank you for sharing and linking.
What a pretty Teacup you won ! I do love Petit Point very much, it looks so charming on this tea cup . Yes , I'm canning, but only currant jam . From my garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the party,Sherry . Like to be here .
Blessings, Carmen
Just over from Bernideen's. Couldn't resist a post that featured tea and canning! I had intended to do some canning this summer, but haven't managed to do it yet. Still time, I suppose ...
ReplyDeleteI think it should always be time for tea. Thank you for sharing at SYC! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteSherry,
ReplyDeleteI never learned to can, dear friend!
My MoMa was a 'working lady'!
Instead of canning, we did freezing of our Garden's bounty!
My Mother~in~law (farmer's wife) canned!
Instead of teaching me, she gifted me with the Garden's bounty from her labours. In exchange, I cooked and delivered she and my Father~in~law's meals during canning Season!
YuMMy cake served with your exquisite Royal Albert Tea Cup!
The vignette is gorgeous!
Fondly,
Pat
I used to put things up to freeze with my Daisy Seal a Meal.
ReplyDeleteOne year my father and I did it as a project.
Thank you for joining us at Thoughts of Home.
Hope to see you next week too.
