I vote for doing your own preserving. Item 1: You know where it came
from and what's in it. Item 2: You get the enjoyment of growing and
preserving your own food. Item 3: You get to brag about it on this
newsgroup. Item 4: If you have family and friends you can gift with your
homemade stuff you get a lot of satisfaction from their praise.

I've been off salt and most sugar for years, therefore I make most of my
own jams, jellies, and preserves. Helps keep my blood sugar and
cholesterol levels more normal.

Its too great and really very very nice sharing that i ever found here
very best and great work done it is

Doing it yourself gets stuff you cant get in shops, and is sometimes
enjoyable. For tomatoes though, I just buy them.
