I was looking for a "new" place to U-Pick strawberries, as the place I used to go has become rather regimented, and has way too many rules.. Decided on Hallick farm and had the best time, great strawberries, great staff, GREAT prices!!! WE called in between the rain storms and they always gave a good update, (it rained a lot and I called a lot) and honest as to conditions and amount of berries. She has jars and pectin too, saved me a trip to the store twice. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK FOR SWEET CORN!!! But I really wanted to write and thank you for your site, (I have so far only canned fruit jams, but am ready to move on to more.) You really have a knack for those links-- they are great for anyone who is not to sure how to do something. Your explanations are so clear, and your writing style so "normal" that I feel like I'm talking to a friend. I'm not the most computer savvy person and you have it all set-up so EASY!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! "
Vegetable Picking Tips, Recipes and Information
Pick veggies that are firm and free of blemishes.
Canning, Freezing, Drying, Preserving and more!
Below are links to pages with easy and reliable directions about how to can, preserve, freeze and make other goodies fromveggiess. Some of these require a Pressure Canner to prevent potential spoilage and
food poisoning, due to the low acid content of the food. For others, you
can use a water bath canner OR a Pressure Canner. I've noted what's
required for each, below, following each entry, with
W for water bath,
P for Pressure canner, and
W, P for either may be used!

Southerners who move to other parts of the country can make their own

How to home-can pumpkin (in a cooked, cubed form) and
why you shouldn't home-can the pureed forms. Note: Pumpkin is difficult
to can safely - it is a low acid food, so that rules out open water bath
canning immediately. Pressure canners can be used, but according to the
health authorities (like the National Center for Home Food Preservation)
only if the pumpkin is cubed, rather than mashed. I usually just freeze the
cooked pumpkin! - P
