Mary Jane's Chill Over Jam!

For those of you who don't know about Mary Jane, you are missing out on everything Farm Girl. She has a successful magazine called Mary Jane's Farm and her blogger, Rebekah Teal is a former lawyer and judge with a Master's of Theological Studies, who is a "down home" certified farmgirl in stiletto heals! Does this give you an idea of what you are in for!

Because it is canning season for berries here in the Northwest I thought Mary Jane's Chill Over product and recipes could be a nice addition to our traditional canning process. What makes Mary Jane's Chill Over Powder special is it is a vegetarian gelatin that looks like gelatin and tastes like it, but sets up in half the time and does not come from the animal products that regular gelatin does. You can order it on her site link above or call 1-888-750-6004.
