French Apple Jam Recipe!

September is the time to purchase apples, because they’re cheap! If you’d like to can this month, be sure to check this French Apple Jam recipe! I haven’t made this jam yet, but it looks absolutely amazing. Nothing beats homemade jam! Am I right? If you’d like to make this jam as well, be sure to have the following ingredients ready:

  • about 6 apples (I mixed Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 5 cardamom pods, crushed (use a rolling pin or heavy spoon to gently crack open the pods)
  • juice of 2 lemons, divided
  • 2 Tbsp pectin powder

Mason Jar Snack Shaker DIY Project!

I’ve seen numerous articles about up-cycling mason jars on the internet lately. However, I recently found a craft idea using mason jars that I just had to make! I ran across an article that showed how to make a Mason Jar Snack Shaker. This DIY project looks both fun and inexpensive to make. Plus, this is a great way to give my little ones snacks, without making a mess. If you’d like to make this mason jar project too, be sure to have the following supplies:

  • Empty juice container
  • Scissors
  • Pint-sized mason jar
  • Marker/pencil/pen
