ByJulieRenier Lastweek,Ihadtheop- portunity to make friends with canning after having a very troubled relation- ship decades ago. Last win- ter I fertilized and applied a pesticide drench (abso- lutely necessary) to all my orchard trees. Now I have an abundance of fruits on trees that were previously barren and unidentified. One plum tree in particu- lar has been especially pro- lific- thousands of fruits ripening quickly (which my dogs were happily con- suming) as birds pecked and knocked them to the ground. Adverse to wasting food, I called upon my dear friend (whom I refer to as the Canning Queen) to both identify my fruit and provide some guidance. Not surprisingly, she suggested I bring my bounty over and help her make some jam. I admit I was reluctant but she cans most days of the summer so I realized there could be no better mentor. She makes the best jams and sauces I have ever tasted! After spending a half day with my friend and her husband, I am now ready to can more items that will soon appear in my or- chard, grapevines and gar- den. The Red Bluff farmer's markets will soon open and there will be many items I will now consider canning. I have lived most of my life in Nebraska and Mis- souri. I have previously only dabbled in freezing fresh picked berries , mak- ing freezer preserves, freez- ing sweet corn or making refrigerator pickles. Noth- ing in my life prepared me for the huge variety of fresh local produce that seems to come in waves in this area. I often wonder if lo- cals have any idea how for- tunate they are to be able to access the sort of fresh produce that midwestern- ers have never had avail- able despite modern ship- ping methods. It is truly a food lover's paradise here- I am quite grateful to be able to enjoy this blessing. By now you have planted your vegetable garden and are watering and prevent- ing pests (grasshoppers are here now) and dis- ease. I suggest that you take some time to explore methods of food preserva- tion right now if you want to take advantage of the fresh bounty available. The internet has various sites- National Center for Home Food Preservation, the Home Preserving Bi- ble, Mother Earth websites, etc. Also various manufac- turers also have sites with recipes and tips. On one in- ternet site, I discovered to my amazement that there are actually 10 methods of food preservation- can- ning, freezing, drying, fer- menting, pickling, dry salt- ing, curing, smoking, seal- ing and cellaring. As each of these sites recommend, you need to purchase all the equipment and supplies you plan to use well in ad- vance. Also it is imperative that you check the equip- ment you already have to make certain you are not using any chipped or cracked food storage con- tainer parts. By the way, this really is the best time to find what you will need- so much better than mak- ing 3 stops in the July heat looking for items...don't ask how I know about that.
