@yvan shared a really detailed message about Weck jars and introduced me to a new source to buy from without spending 2x the product cost on shipping, customs, and VAT. I've shown the Portuguese version; there's one for the UK as well. I didn't move any of my canning equipment or jars from the US to PT so now I start over. The pears last year required a lot of editing, but then, we hadn't moved in yet. I hope picking rather than wind fall will help. I plan to can. Last year's persimmons were sadly compost. And apparently they don't can safely but they dry and freeze. My tomatoes are not impressive -- likely bad timing as I learn new rhythms -- but I still have hopes for putting up sauce. Maybe the squash will do well enough to cube & can for future soup. I also ordered bottles for vanilla, yogurt, and kombucha. The markets here will sell fruit & berries by the kilo before long. Anyone have favorite recipes? #preserve #garden #gardening #yeswecan #canning #horta #porto #fruit
