All my life we have canned and preserved food. I've helped, but for some reason, this year things have changed for me--for some reason, I now am taking personal pleasure in stocking my larder for the coming year with glass jars of tomato juice, crushed tomatoes, green beans, etc. Yesterday I found myself chucking a dozen bags of chopped okra in the freezer for use in stews and soups this winter. I've spent the past two days bottling 28 quarts and approximately 60 pints of tomato juice. This is beyond all the relish and jams I've been making to sell.
I even found myself sitting at the market Sunday breaking green beans (Blue Lake, of course) willingly--and I've always hated breaking beans!!!
