Free: Contests & Raffles.
I picked Strawberries this pasr Friday. Make sure you can your strawberries the same day you pick. I put mine in the frig over night and the next day when I made jam I had to throw out 1/3 of them.
I got my first pressure cook/canner the beginning of this year. I have been wanting to can salmon for awhile. I looked online and talked to a bunch of people that have done it. Got different ideas on different flavors. I did a batch of 13 jars each jar is a different flavor. I plan on having some of my family over to do a salmon tasting and figure out what flavors we like the best and stick with those. Then I wanted to try some jam so about 3 weeks ago I did some strawberry, it turned out great. This past weekend I did blueberry jam and some other jam that was made from half blackberries and half raspberries. Both of those are great too. Next I want to do dill pickles and dill green beans.

The next salmon I catch is going in some jars. What did you use for flavor?
Dehydrating salmon? Smoked fish is getting old, can dehydrating salmon be the next cave man wannabe staple? hmmmmmmmmmm
I'll be heading over to the Coast to pick up some Tuna this year.
I'll be heading over to the Coast to pick up some Tuna this year. I'll get atleast 75 lbs of Tuna for me. I'll probably pick up tuna for several other people when I go over to. There are several other families in my area that can too. They help with the gas and pick the tuna up at my house the day I pick it up.
I can a lot but probably a lot less now that the kids are all moved out. I do beans, pickled beets, reg. beets, fruit cocktail, peaches and pears (with a very light syrup), red cabbage, various jams, tomato sauces, carrots, pickles, bread and butter pickles, freezer corn, and I make wine occasionally. Hoping for a good crop of grapes this year. I also make my own soaps. My husband does a lot of different sausages in his smoke house/butcher room. I think cancer is rampant because of what we eat more than anything. It's all the pesticides and weed killers that have a part in it. I like my garden produce!
