I like canning, freezing,and drying home grown fruits and vegetables.  I do it because I love to be out in the fresh air during the summer hearing the birds sing and the wind in the trees. I took a frozen fruit salad to a New Year's Day potluck and the hostess put the left over salad in a dish.  She didn't even ask if I wanted the left overs.  She wanted them.  Frozen strawberries, peaches, apricots, cherries, raspberries and blueberries taste good on a snowy, cold winter day.
