Oh yes! Just getting locally and then canning it will save you time and money... and you can't beat the flavor!

I also goto the farm stand up the road and buy their 'bruised' tomatoes. They are $0.50 a lb, and I just mix them with my tomatoes and make salsa and sauce all week long.

I also taste test items from them I don't normally grow, and if I find something I like... I save the seeds to grow my own next year! (Especially weird squashes I've never tried before!)

You should come join us in the Canning Thread in the recipe section, we all share how-to's and recipes ALL the time!!!!!!!
 
Come on over!

I think Salsa and Jams are the easiest to do! You can water bath them, and walmart sells a Salsa mix for canning that is safe. You just add the amount of tomatoes it tells you with the packet and the correct measurement of vinegar or lime/lemon juice. Easy Peasy!
 
I'll be sending out my jar by the day after tomorrow. I just need to choose what to send!
 
I'm going funky, going to treat my partner to specialty stuff grown in my yard

As well as a jar of my famous blueberry preserves if she's interested

Well we ended up with 100% match for everyone! I had someone who couldn't do it this time around so everyone got to get someone... and I'm standing out for now. Unless The Chicken People wants in, I'll take her
