I took a leaf out of the bears diet and have been making choke cherry jelly and crab apple jelly, Whole small crabs in syrup and my favourite marmalade with whisky (not that the bears eat this). I'm new to this preserving lark and even though I say it myself they have turned out very edible. The basement is looking quite healthy now with 400lb potatoes, 50lb carrots, 40lb onions and preserves, it will be interesting to see how they fair through the winter down there.
I can personally vouch for the marmalade, quite possibly the best I've ever tasted.MML from farther up the road.
