Homemade jellies, jams, recipes, and stories.

This page is inspired by a number of people and my hope is that, as family and friends, we can stay connected and share family recipe tips, ideas, and stories. Jan and I are now retired and the McTrips are older and with our extra time, we expect to do more canning and cooking. We have learned over the years and have had our number of failures; but old family recipes are hard to beat and with today's technology are easy to share and keep for generations to come. By the way, if you post a recipe or secret to this page I cannot guarantee who will see it, so if you don't want people to know how to make your Great Grandmother's Walnut Cinnamon bread don't post it to this site. Likewise, if you do share a recipe I will trust that what you share will be exact and easy for others to follow. While I cannot control who sees things on this page I can ban people from sharing on it (I think). Regardless we'll be documenting and talking about what we are doing food wise on this page. Please join us is sharing and helping keep these family traditions alive and well.
