    Canning has had a resurgence over the past few years as people have looked for ways to reduce food waste, save money, eat healthier and get back to their roots.

    In today's episode I chat to Jenny Gomes from The Domestic Wildflower.  Jenny is from Northern California and is a busy mom of 2 small kids.  She blogs about homemade food and crafts at The Domestic Wildflower and loves sharing how easy canning is with beginners.

    RECIPE OF THE WEEK

    The recipe of the week this week is my Air Fryer Baked Apples.  These tenderly baked cinnamon apples are topped with a crisp oat filling that transforms into a healthy dessert that tastes anything but.  If you don't have an air fryer don't worry, you can cook them in the oven too.
