Next are those that freeze easily, peas, french beans and soft fruit.
After that preserves, jams and pickles but I don't eat too much of those.
The only vegetable I put in jars is tomatoes. The flavour is far superior to tin tomatoes and I haven't bought a tin of tomatoes now for years.
That's an idea, Mark, I freeze surplus tomatoes either roasted or pureéd but never thought of bottling them. I'll have to Google the process. Any useful tips Mark?
