canning can be a lot of work, but it's not difficult. there's nothing like opening a jar of tomatoes, pickles or jelly in the middle of winter! there are plenty of online guides. freshpreserving.com is Ball's site, there are plenty of others. you cn get jars and everything you need dirt cheap at garage sales! freezer jams are very flavorful and easy to prepare too, a great way to put away strawberries.
