Governments here protect and foster such evils as Monsanto - causing people to eat cancer causing roundup. So the ring of "Europe" sounds healthier, less dangerous. The fruit, I think is actually from Chili, who knows what kind of chemicals they use there. There is another cheaper larger bag of mixed berries in the store, $10, but 3 times the amount, and it even contains blueberries, yummy. Don't know about how many chemicals are in it though.

I suppose another added benefit of canning parties is that you can combine your haul of berries and share it with others, thus making a large deposit in the karma bank at the same time. My mom used to make apple jelly from the apples in our backyard tree, as well as applesauce. Those were the days...

Blend them while still frozen with some yogurt, a few walnuts and a some maple syrup and you have yourself a fancy Italian ice. Any way I digress the name is just the normal marketing idea actually the fruit comes from Chile.

They're just so convienient to grab out of the freezer and pop one or two right onto your hot pasta. And home made pesto is just sooooo much better than bought stuff.

I think she'd agree with you. Other cool pro maneuver: ice cube trays full of pesto. A friend of mine jars boxes and boxes of her own tomato sauce. I think she’d agree with you.

Then either scour thrift stores for old jars, or buy new ones (usually in abundance during the canning months of July and August). Then either make your jam or pack your fruit, and follow canning directions. Time consuming? A little. Satisfying? Heck yes! Step one: buy a canner.

And also Jill, call me. I’m wondering if this is right now the only way to reach you?

I've been doing jams for a few years now, and last summer canned sliced peaches for the first time. They're sooooo tasty, and such a treat to have in the middle of winter. Home preserving rocks!
