Default Canning vs. Freezing

Angelique,

I've never canned, though I know someday I should learn.

Last summer/fall my excess harvest went into ZipLoc freezer bags. I've recently been taking them out to thaw and enjoy.

A word of warning: the freezing process means the water in the fruit will separate from the fruit itself. Consequently, when the bag's contents are thawed, the fruit won't be pretty and whole (though it will taste fine). Freezing works very well for puree and sauce, though.

I think canning is good if you want to have whole fruit, I can't think of any other advantage over freezing.
