With sugar. I have been making jams, jellies, syrups..... A bag of sugar cost me $3. I added up one after I processed it, and I got (compared to store prices) $28 worth of jelly.
Later this week I will be going into the city and I can get a bulk bag of sugar and save even more. We have apples and crabapples that are ready. So, the only ingredent I have had to buy is the sugar. I reuse my jars every year (some I even got free years and years ago), and I got some flats free off of free cycle several months ago (brand new, still sealed in the box). All are off our trees, so no money out buying the fruit.
We also have been working up our beans--green beans and wax beans. Mostly I am putting them in the freezer, along with the okra. The corn should be ready in a couple of days, and then we will be working up corn also.
This will help feed us this winter.
