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!
When I went to Australia a few years ago, they served pickled beets with lunch and dinner. Everybody did. This year, I am going to pickle some.
Let me know when the wine is ready
As far as cancer, I agree with you. Our diets here in the states are pretty bad! I've been saying for years that I think skin cancer is being caused by commercial soaps. If you search the ingredients, you would stop eating many of the things you normally eat. Commercial chemicals are going into our foods and most don't even care.
