My mother from the South won't can because that's how poor people do things.

We only have electricity about half the day and no generator so no freezer for us. It'd be nice though.

I would love to dry things but my "oven" is a metal box the size of my college TV that sits on top of my gas burner (so super small batches for big inconvenience) and we have a TON of bugs here. Even if I bought a bug screen the littlest ants would just walk under and help themselves.

And yes, just high acid fruit with extra lime juice added. I'm not totally mad!
