Canning Jar Tops
Most of our audience know that Diva Dan is a foodie. He prepares every meal and is adventurous when it comes to pulling recipes from magazines and the internet. Truthfully, most of the time I have no idea which vegetable or whatever is in the food. It just tastes yummy!
Daniel loves to can. I know... where does he find the time! He loves the idea of either growing some of the vegetables and fruits on his own but most of the time, he supports the local farmers and buys it from them.
As he puts it, canning is a lot of fun but it's also a lot of work. Boiling the jar to ensure it gets a solid seal is his least favourite part. However, we don't mind eating the canned jams and more that he makes. Oooooh so tasty!
If you have never canned before, you can check out this article called, How to Can - Getting Started. Everything Diva Dan knows is from what he learned through videos and articles.

Due to peripheril neorapathy I can't crochet anymore but I love these jar toppers. Is there anyway I could buy a couple?
Karen says
I love these and can't wait to make some. I can each year: strawberry jam (berries from our garden); applesauce, apple butter, cherry jam, brandied cherries; piccalilli, pickles, salsa, peaches. We use the canned goods regularly, but there are always so many jars, I give them as gifts, too.

Cute topper. Looks like a fun way to use up those smaller scrap yarn balls.
