Which do you prefer, canning or feezing?

freezing fresh fruit and veggies is way easier than canning them, in my opinion anyways. all you have to do is wash them off and throw them in the freezer, of course, there are some fruits and veggies that you cannot do that to as they get mushy.

i like freezing better, that is easier for me to do. I never did learn the art of canning. I have seen it done but I have never tried it. My grandmother used to can a lot of things, but when I got out on my own I bought me a freezer and I have been freezing every sine.

If I would decide to do this I would freeze things..canning takes too much time...seems like more space to store and it heats up the kitchen too much...I did alot of canning while growing up on the farm...won't do it again!

Hey there, gurlfren! Long time no see! I've been busy crafting and selling on etsy. Mostly I freeze things. I used to can but it is so much more time consuming. I only have a small garden and therefore I don't like dragging out all the equipment for canning. If I had a big garden, I probably would prefer that. Your food lasts almost indefinitely then and I kind of like the flavor better on some things (tomatoes especially). But for now, I will mostly freeze stuff.

Freezing is so much better than canning. I used to can. It's a lot more work and sometimes the jars didn't seal so I ended up wasting a lot. Also when you can you cook a lot of the nutrients out of the food. Freezing has a better result, the color and the flavor is so much better. Plus it's a lot less mess and expense.

I think canning is a lot of work. I prefer freezing because then I know the stuff is still good when I go to use it too. It takes much less time to freeze things as well and its much easier to do. Although, every year I do love to make a few jars of mustard relish..Yummy!..and green tomato chow! Delicious on baked potatoes with sour cream as well..Now your going to have me planting an abundance of tomatoes again.

All I have done lately is Freezing as I never seem to have the time to consider even trying any canning. I know that things usually will keep longer as in freshness when you can over freezing, so that is the Best way to do things, but it also depends on the extra time you have to do things as well.

I like canning the best. I just love the whole process to canning. I do freeze things too but I don't find that as rewarding as the hard work I put into canning.

In the past I froze most everything, because I did not like the heat of canning, and I could only can acidic things because I had a waterbath, but not a pressure cooker. I do can jams and jellies and pickles and relishes if I make any.

I think I prefer canning to freezing for some things. If you have the space, you can can lots of stuff. You only have so much room in your freezer to freeze stuff for later, plus hold your every day kinda stuff.

I usually freeze my food but that's really just because I've never ben taught how to can. I think it would be better to can because it would keep the room in your freezer free. My grandmother used to can tomatoes and I remember they were just as fresh a year later as they were when they came out of the garden.
