Can It Up: August

Posted on 01 August 2013

Last month, it was incredibly hot.

Now that I work in San Francisco, I am freezing all the time. The weather this week isn’t helping me feel any warmer. It’s back to a typical Bay Area summer.

This means it’s the perfect time to heat up the kitchen with lots of boiling water and boiling fruit. We were on fire preserving berries last month. What will we preserve with this month?

Let’s Can It Up!

• First, review the Can It Up ground rules.
• During the month of August (that means up to August 31st), please either link your post to this post using the tool below; email me your post or photo; post your post or photo in the Comments section of this post; or tweet your post or a photo using our hashtag #CanItUp. Or you can do all four! I will do a round-up on September 1st.
• Please mention Can It Up and link back to this post.
• To include your photo in the monthly roundup post, email it to me by August 31st. It must be at least 670 pixels wide and oriented horizontally (i.e. landscape).
• Don’t forget that your preserve must be water-bath canned. Read up on water-bath canning.

August’s selected ingredient is chili peppers! Fresh or dried…peppers should your preserve’s shining star.
