My wife & I have another date tonight to put up more apple butter. Seems right at a bushel of apples will fill our 3 crock-pots and will result in around 30 more 80z jelly jars canned. My late crop of corn is about ready for picking. We will add that to the freezers. Actually, all our freezers are about full now with goodies from the garden. So now we are primarily eating what we pick & give the excess to friends. Couple of days ago I gave a gal at work 4 dozen eggs & a bucket full of filet green beans. Today I brought a sack full of curly kale to another employee.
Nowadays we preserve our garden produce by freezing. It is quicker than canning & I find the quality superior. Down side is there is a potential for loss if a freezer were to die & not get noticed. As I prepper, I do stock many cases of Ball jars & keep thousands of bulk lids. I understand, during a crisis, canning will be critical for our survival. We have considerable experience in both pressure canning and hot water bath canning.
