Hi Sandra, saw your message to Janis.  I haven't seen you in here
for awhile. I hope all is well.  Or maybe I'm just having Fido
mail woes and you've been here all along.  
I know how she feels about canning.  The rules get more stringent
every year.  It can be scary to read about.  I like frozen
veggies better than canned ones anyway so never have tried
canning.  I do make pickles sometimes, and things like marmalade,
but have never tried 'real canning'.  One problem I have here in
Florida, besides following the canning rules, is finding a
storage space.  We don't have cool basements or any basements.
Anywhere I could store it is way too hot.  So I stick to freezing
and drying.   My mother did a lot of canning, but we lived up
north then and had a good cool basement to store those jars in.
Anyway, glad to see you back.
Marilyn
