Here's one way to make summer last through the miseries of winter. If there was one year to start freezing and canning, it is this year," says Pat Leach, a retired family and consumer science educator for Penn State Cooperative Extension, Indiana County. "All you have to do is look at the price increase in food, and I think you will see the need.

It might sound cold to say this in the heat of summer, but it's time to get to work. Whether you get your fruits and vegetables at a farmers market or a supermarket, the best food of the entire year is waiting for you. With a little effort, you can put it up so that it will last all year.
Q Do I have to blanch my vegetables before I freeze them? A No, you don't have to, but you really should.
No two ways about it: It certainly has been cold. The near-freezing winter weather makes me crave warm soups and roasted winter vegetables.

AUGUST, that misty bridge between summer and autumn, has entered our hills on the crest of a torrid heat wave. Suffocating heat rises up from the earth itself, to be met by blazing rays of the sun. Cows seek the shade of big trees in the pasture field, and hound dogs crawl under porches and sheds for relief. Some of the garden plants are drooping in the hot sun, while weeds also are wilting. The sweet corn thrives, however, as it loves hot days and cool nights. Country housewives are busy all the day long with canning, preserving, and freezing the mature vegetables. It is a mad rush now, but we need to thank the bountiful Father who has prospered our gardens.
I trust that after last week's rain, many gardens are bursting with produce. Last week we talked about canning. I am testing gauge- style canners today in the office from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. This week, let's look at using your freezer to preserve your extra fruits and vegetables. When freezing vegetables, choose fresh produce -- for best results, plan for two-three hours from harvest to freezing. If this is not possible, refrigerate what you can't work with and freeze as soon as possible.
