I Tried Canning

Well, my parents are back in Florida.  It has turned cooler here in Iowa and today is rainy and cool.

I have actually tried some canning.  I picked up a beginners kit on amazon that came with some recipes that I have tried.  The apple butter turned out pretty good.  I think its just applesauce, but the kids and hubby loved the extra bit that didn't make it in a jar.  We have some apple trees here so I used those apples.
Today I am trying a barbecue sauce.
Which by the way, why is it called canning when its really jaring?  I am not putting stuff in cans, but jars.
If you want to check out the kit I started with its --

Still working on unpacking the stuff and getting the new house in order.  Once we unpacked enough to get by we stalled out a little.  I am trying to figure out what to do with my clothes.  I am no good with this organizing and putting away of stuff.  But I am the worst with my clothes, not to mention I have a lot of clothes.  Also need to conquer the computer room at some point.
