Canning and/or Freezing Vegetables and Fruits

Does anyone can foods or freeze fresh vegetables/fruits?  I want to learn, but have no idea where to start or what books to read.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

  • My mom canned our home grown green beans growing up.  I think she just read instructions from a little pamphlet. I feel like it came with the mason jar cases, but I could be wrong.

  • I don't can, but I freeze fresh veggies and some fruits (berries and grapes mostly).

    For fruit, I usually just wash it and then put it flat on a baking sheet in the freezer.  Once frozen, I dump it all in a freezer bag and stick it back in the freezer.  I love to eat the fruit frozen.

    If I'm freezing veggies, I usually just google "how to freeze ____"  It generally just says blanche it, put it on a cookie sheet, freeze it and then put it in something to store it.

     I would like to learn how to can too, but I hear it had to be done very precisely and I usually don't work like that Stick out tongue
