I would love to try canning, if I ever can get access to fruit that is organic and not too expensive. My only access is whole foods, and I can afford one apricot if I’m lucky. I got a dehydrator and am still waiting for that bounty of fruit, next would be the canning supplies – country girl wannabe.
