There are two basic types of home preservers:

Those who create for fun. It's a hobby. A way to enjoy foods and create their own delicacies.

Those who are seriously looking at putting up enough food for the whole family. Food preservation is part of a simple frugal lifestyle.

Which one are you? I’m a little of both… heavy on the lifestyle choice side.
