Getting Crafty (Part One)

Ok so that was quite the productive weekend. Jen (my gourmet & crafty sister in law) and I had planned on just making strawberry jam last weekend. Well 1 project turned into 14 projects. lol.. It was fun. Most of the recipes came from the following books: Ecobeauty, Organic Beauty, Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It, Well-Preserved, & Preserving the Harvest. Check out the picture below.

Drum-roll please... We made 3 kinds of strawberry jam: Strawberry Jalapeno, Strawberry Blackberry, and Strawberry Orange; 2 kinds of homemade ketchup (which is amazing); Baby food Dog Biscuits; Cranberry Vinegar; Chocolate Massage Bars; Brown Sugar Lip Exfoliator; Vanilla Sugar Body Scrub; Healing and Moisturizing Lip Balm; Oats and Honey Soap; and Beeswax Soap.
