dw asked for some shade for her while canning, which will begin in the next week or so... the meds she is on for her diabetes the sun/heat messes her up. the only thing needed is a good chair and a fan and she will be set.....

You are too kind…...I can on the stove in the house under the AC. I can see the advantage of canning outside, not heating p the house.

that's one huge reason i love freezer jam. no cooking...

oven canning is much less heat than BWB, but that is best done for low pressure or pickled type things. pressure cooker canning is a whole different story - not done that here. we don't do meats or non-acid things (i freeze those sorts of things instead).
