Random Thought for the day — A canning process

I love fresh fruit and veggies.  This is the time of year for them too.  So I am in heaven as I snack on fresh strawberries and all seems right with my world.  🙂

As I think about the lovely things that are coming up this summer from tomatoes, peaches, plums, watermelon I am starting to think ahead to this fall.  I know that was a big jump, but I thinking about canning or freezing those fresh yummy goodness for later as well as eating one, two or one hundred right now.

As my sisters have told me a million time, I was born in the wrong era.  I am looking forward to making homemade jams, jellies and even salsa.  I may even have to venture out and learn to do some other items this year.  We  will have to see.

I am starting to look at garages for the mason jars, just in hopes of some fun times in the kitchen later.

In the past I have just done Homemade Apple butter, but have frozen lots of the fresh fruits when I can or if the family doesn’t eat them all first.  But I guess there are bigger problems in life than the family eating all the fresh produce.  🙂

Do you do any canning?  What are your favorites to can?
