Salsa Canning

There is nothing better than fresh summer taste in the middle of winter. I have always wanted to try canning, but always thought it looked so complicated. I read up on it a little bit and realized that it actually seemed pretty simple! So I got a whole bunch of fresh locally grown goodies at the farmers market and found a good recipe. I spent a few hours last night making this black bean and corn salsa that I found in Seasons magazine.(In this recipe you may need to adjust the acidity. I used lemon juice.) I thought I would only make a small batch for my first time to make sure I did everything right since I am usually not a very precise cooker. I always seem to change the recipe a bit...but with canning safety I had to make no mistakes. :) I do not have a pressure canner, I just used the large pot boiling method and it seemed to turn out great! I might do it again later this fall and make some applesauce. yum!
