Tigress' Can Jam – A 12-month Jammin' Challenge

Twelve months, twelve batches of jams or pickles. Can I do it? You'll notice a new widget in my right nav bar: it's the gateway to Tigress in a Jam and Tigress' Can Jam. That means that I'm one of 119 people who have signed up to preserve and post recipes for a batch of preserves every month this year.

As much as possible, given the wide geographical distribution of the participants, we'll be focusing on local fruit and vegetables, or at least produce in season (after all, we Canadians only have about four months of truly fresh local produce.) The first month's preserve must be some kind of citrus.

Some readers of this blog may know Torontonians Joel and Dana at Well Preserved and Barry at Hypenotic, who are also in on the jammin' action. (I'm very grateful that there's no competitive aspect to this.) For the record, check out the impressive blogroll of 83 of the other participants, who represent a very wide range of interests indeed, or follow #tigresscanjam on Twitter. And wish me luck!
