GymGirl, where HAVE you been for sooooooooooooooooo long?
Great gusto girl!
I'm not venturing into pressure canning until I have a season of hot water canning under my belt. I'm kind of timid about the pressure thing.
Thanks for all your tips and pointers!
I agree with you about the upright freezer thing. I never thought I'd want a chest freezer. But I decided it would fit between my washer and dryer in the basement and make a good folding table I can't pile stuff on top of. I'll load it from the right and remove from the left, periodically bringing the oldest things upstairs to the fridge freezer.
DO post your experiences!
