Preserving Food and large gardens/orchards have been a way of life for my family for generations. Rows of jars lined canning shelves and freezers were full of food by summer’s end.

For many years a large portion of my garden was filled with black raspberry bushes. My children well remember the days when we picked 30+ pints to sell to a local produce stand.
