Here are some pictures from our home:

1) Blueberry Jam on homemade pancakes，perfect with fried egg and hash brown .
這是我做的藍莓果醬和早餐鬆餅, 配煎蛋和煎土豆絲最好了。


2) Here are some canning goods I have in our storage shelves such as jams, jellies, canned corns, canned tomatoes, blackberry juice, grape juice, canned peaches and pears, etc..
這是我家的儲藏室。我做的玉米罐頭，果醬，果汁，番茄罐頭，罐頭桃子，罐頭梨等。


這樣儲藏就不用冷凍了。
有一點注意，做果醬時，糖是凝固的重要東西，如果太少就會很稀不結凍，你試過後就會有體會了。有問題再跟我聯係。祝你成功！

我要是有這樣一個儲藏室，會整天流連其中的~~~太棒了！
