No need.
The following email arrived at the speed of hydro shortly after my column hit the streets:
“I enjoyed your column today about the strawberries. I have an extra water bath canner and many mason jars that I will gladly give you if you wish to pick them up. Come canning season, you will need to purchase seals and rings for the jars. You would help me declutter a bit plus gain some of the supplies you need.” Judie
Thank you, Judie. Seals and rings I can handle.
All I have to do now is talk my wife into doing some canning.

I’m kidding. I think I can can myself. Can you can?

Oooo you lucky man!
Do you think that Judie could teach us? Maybe hold a lesson or two at the South London Community Centre kitchen?
Have to admit, I've never done any canning. My mom used to line the shelves in the basement with her jams and jellies and preserves. I have her recipes, but never attempted it.
The photo is beautiful, and tempting.
Hi Jessica and bobbie,
I think it makes sense to learn from a pro. I bet bobbie would get the hang of it pretty quickly on her own (I think it's in her genes), but Jessica and I and others would likely need pointers.
I'll ask Judie about a lesson or two when I see her next week and get back. Sounds like an idea with legs.
Cheers,
GAH
Last summer I canned dill pickles and peaches. The pickles were YUMMY (much to my surprise) and I haven't been brave enough to try the peaches yet.
