Canning

That's what we've spent the past couple of evenings doing.  Friend from church rent a house on a fruit orchard and we were out there for lunch on Sunday and got to pick a stack of fruit.  Mainly apples, but some pears and  feijoas too.  So we've been learning the art of canning to preserve the fruit without having to freeze it.  And it will help us have a supply of fruit over the cooler months when there isn't as much fresh fruit around.
