While I watched my mom can growing up (and distinctly remember the smell of stuffing cukes, garlic and dill into jars) I didn't begin canning on my own until 2003. My first few projects were applesauce, wineberry jam (very seedy) and stewed tomatoes. I started out slow but then, like many of you, I caught the canning bug and for a time, canned almost anything I could get my hands on. But as the years went on and I learned what our family loved (and didn't) and as I've had less time, I've streamlined our projects. While we do a smaller number of projects now, we do much bigger batches. As with many things in life, canning practices ebb and flow with the demands of life. So whether you do a lot or a little- you're doing just fine.
4 months. Apricot jam, apricot rosemary jam, gooseberry sweet & sour sauce, tomato soup, applesauce, and mango puree. Not bad for my 1st year.

I've been canning since I was a child with my grandmother- so at least 30 years. Every summer we would pick raspberries in my grandmothers back yard and can jam. But we used wax to seal them. I learned to can with normal lids- not wax- about 10 years ago. And really got into canning about five years ago.
