Hi Paige,

I live in Somerville and do a lot of canning. I usually post where I get my ingredients, so maybe that will help you find some fun things to can in the winter.

Best of luck!

We used natural dyes last year and had a lot of fun doing it. Our most successful combos are on our blog here:

I made marmalade with mine before heading out of town for Christmas. It's really good in oatmeal. I'm thinking about trying to make a cocktail out of it sometime.

We just found a place in Somerville for 11/1. We worked with a broker at Tory Row and she told us the same thing. Even though there isn't a lot out there, we were able to see 5 places in a weekend (2 with her, 1 with another broker, and 2 from Craigslist) and they were all pretty good. I would just push hard on the brokers to show you whatever they have. Don't lose hope!! There's good stuff out there, even though there aren't a lot of choices. Just be prepared for a short lease, since all the landlords want to be on the school cycle.

I have this book and LOVE it. I use it all the time. It's full of great tips and is definitely geared toward people who want to can smaller batches (e.g. 7 jars, not 100).

I definitely agree with the first commenter about the paper clip method. It's so easy and leaves less damage.

I have a small kitchen and try to avoid unitaskers, too. We make yogurt every week with just a pot, thermometer, jar, and towel. It really only takes about 10 minutes of hands on time and we get amazing yogurt. Try it a few times before committing to a yogurt maker. This is our process:
