YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I make a to die for Pepper Relish and also Red Pepper Jelly. I do pickled veggies, jams, cucumber pickles, watermelon pickles and roasted peppers. No meats I don't have a pressure cooker. I make sun dried tomatoes. I wish I had a HUGE garden or someone to go to the farm stand for me but I do what I can and enjoy it during the winter.
I do not waste anything if I am making peach jam I take all the peelings and pits add water simmer strain and with the juice make peach jelly. Some goes for apples.
OH DOES THIS COUNT???????? Pickled eggs. :lol: :lol: :lol:

We don't have a garden but I have a compost pile that is 20+ years in the making. Do have grapes though and make wine and grape jam in the late spring. There is nothing in the world better than home grown veggies.

I still can fruits in a water bath.

I grew up with parents that canned, pickled, jammed, and jellied. As my siblings and I got old enough to help, it became a family affair. We had an old hand grinder for doing relish. We all wanted to turn the crank...except for when the onions were being done!! LOL
Now, when I am doing canning of any kind, I get those warm and fuzzy memory feelings. I am right back in my childhood kitchen with my family. My DH also enjoys helping. What a wonderful time to spend together!!
A couple of the young gals I work with want to learn, so I suspect I will be holding lessons this summer.
