Durgan, if I ever make it up your way, I am going to have to invite myself over to see all your canned goods! I am amazed at how much you grow and preserve! How do you find the time for it? My busy season for selling real estate is all through gardening and preserving season and I barely get any sleep!
Your observation about being time consuming is very true. I am retired. One must be very efficient to reduce the time required. Even being retired I am cognizant of the fact that preserving is a time eating process. If my effort was any larger, I would have to procure more labour reducing tools.

An automatic food processor with a motor would help. Possibly a larger more powerful blender. I utilize the outdoor doors a lot, but a separate shed would be useful.

But al in all there is a lot of satisfaction about producing one's own food as much as possible.
