Report:Tools of the Trade
I slept 9 hours last night—an almost unimaginable luxury—and awoke with a new lease on life. This morning I got to work on some neglected priorties, like putting together the Saving the Season webstore. With help from my friend Alex, who designed this blog, I'll be building out a shop to carry everything a home canner might need: jars, labels, hang tags, jelly bags, aprons, notebooks, note cards, and the various implements and paraphernalia of the trade. Well, that's the long-term goal. The short-term goal is to be able to offer you the chance to source a few handy tools, as well as jars of my own Saving the Season sweet preserves.
What kind of tools, you ask? Check out the ABOVE: a headspace measure handcrafted by a wood-worker I know using beautiful cherry wood. Coming soon...

Wonderful idea. I have been trying to come up with a prototype for a jam stirrer/maker and recently found out Tfal and Ball both have jam making machine out.
Kevin! Those are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see what else you add to your shop!
Oh my, these are lovely!! Will they be available for wholesale? They would be perfect for my little online shop. I am adding Weck jars soon, and have a few other bits and bobs that home canners love. Let me know! I would love to be your first Canadian store...
Really looking forward to this - I just couldn't bear to buy a dark green plastic headspace measure; too tacky for words.
Can't wait to order one! Any of your lovely jam pans going to find their way to your store?
