Any home canners out there? [View All]

[murphymom]

We have fruit trees in our yard, apples, pears and Italian plums and we have gotten more fruit than we can use fresh so the squirrels get most of it.

Does anyone can without sugar? I'm diabetic and would rather water or juice pack. How does your stuff come out?

I'll probably try canning applesauce and some pears using a boiling water bath method if we get a decent crop this year.

I'd love to try doing pickles or pickled peppers, too. Some of the farms stands locally sell cukes and tomatoes in bulk for home canners.
