Canning & Preserving

I have fond childhood memories of my mom canning jams, peaches, pears and other treats. She definitely made the most of preserving produce from our garden and other local farms! I don’t do nearly as much food preservation as she did, but I have a few favorite recipes I like to make every year, like this strawberry jam and quartered peaches.
