I don't can anything but maple syrup when/if I get it in bulk, and only freeze blueberries that we pick either from our own bushes or a friend's. I don't have a lot of freezer space. I did make two batches of strawberry jam one of which had some sugar that didn't dissolve. So I won't be giving that away as gifts. I would like to make some spiced pear jam for gift giving. And I usually bake a loaf or two of bread every week in winter but not in summer. I have a bread machine which I use only for mixing and the first rise.
