You can also try canning fruits and veggies. But among them all, I love to can tomatoes more. Thanks for such an informative site. Simple but jam packed with information.

I have about a gallon of natural juice from canning peaches. Can you tell me how to make and can a pancake syrup from this juice?

I would love a large deep freeze! There is a post about sun dried tomatoes. We make them every year because they really are tasty!
