As far as a middle name goes… well, this poor kid may end up middle name-less because that’s something we just can’t seem to agree on.

The metal on those ones seems to rust with this kind of exposure, so keep that in mind if you have a really special 50 cent paintbrush that you want to keep..This is how it will look after soaking for a couple of days.

You can see there’s still a line of crust where the paint dried a little more than it should have during the painting process.The secret is this: Once you break the seal of the crust, all the paint will be free to escape the confines of your paintbrush, and you too will be in soft paintbrush bristle heaven!.Get a little of whatever kind of soap you have near your sink.

I used some hand soap.Rub it in a little..

The secret tool!

A green scrubby!See how easy that was?.

I only made 4 jars because I had these really pretty little jars that came with my kit, but I could have probably made 6-8 little jelly jars from this recipe quite easily.I just put the extras in the fridge to enjoy right now..

It really only took about 45 minutes including clean up!I can’t believe I waited so long to learn about canning!.
