Hello!

I have a few questions about canning safety. I’m interested in making a quince jam for canning, although I haven’t been able to locate a vetted recipe from a reputable source. 

1. Can I safely use this NCHFP quince jelly recipe, but leave the fruit pulp in to make jam instead?

2. Can I safely substitute pears with quince in this NCHFP pear preserves recipe?

3. If I wanted to add some intrigue, could I use the same volume of prepared elderberry juice in place of the water in both of the above recipes?

Thank you so much in advance for any guidance you may be able to offer!

I am wanting to plant bulbs in pots this fall so that I will have beautiful potted plants next spring and summer. However, this is the first time I've planted bulbs and I need some help. First, which bulbs should I plant? I'd like to combine a few different types so that I have something blooming in the pot starting in spring and all the way to fall. Is that possible? And which bulbs work well in Northern Colorado? Second, when and how do I plant and take care of them over the fall and winter? Should I keep the pots in my garage?
