I am so glad to hear that others still can and freeze produce. I started canning as a child and I still to this day make jams,jellies,tomatoes and pickles. I can't make enough seems the quilters are always wanting to buy a jar of this or that. It is another way I relax. I know, I am nuts. But I love the response I get from friends who eat and enjoy my labor. I am getting ready to make peach jam, just did 37 jars of fig jam,46 jars of blackberry jam, and so many I can't count of hot pepper jelly, I always add other fruits to the hot pepper jelly and everyone goes nuts. One of my quilting friends has bought so much hot pepper jellies for her husband, he eats it on everything and I love to see how happy it makes him when I go to their house for a visit. Really, its not about the work I put in to the process, I love to see the expression and excitement the recievers show after trying my canned goods. I hate to see such a great art getting lost.
