Hey great replies guys, thanks.
I too am looking forward to the day when I can prepare more stuff for my pantry. Like you Cathy, years back I did can veggies, sauces, jams, jellys, etc.
When I lived in the interior of Alaska, canned moose meat and did a lot of berry things including an amazing liquor.
But as strange as it may sound, here in the rain forest, it is almost impossible to grow many things, not enough sun and it's too wet. Factor in that I am away from home up to eight months or so a year--
If I am home in the summer at all, try to do a few batches of pickles, some blueberry jam and often that is it.
But in my next retirement, hope to have a little garden in back of the inn and be down the road from a farmers market. Oh, and a boy friend who brings home the fish and game, sigh.
enjoy,
Nan
