Storing up for winter

I am very pleased to stay that my "storing up for winter" will NOT be around my waist and hips this year :)
I'm doing canning and preserving because out here in Siberia fruit and veggies can get hard to find and VERY expensive over the winter months.
So far I have cherries, raspberries, pickled cucumbers, cucumber relish, crabapples,black currant jam and tomatoes. The cupboard is getting full. I'm still planning to do zuchinni (but I might freeze those) and more raspberries if I can still find them, and there are some berries that aren't ready yet.
The last time we lived here I put on a lot of weight over the winter and part of that was because fruit and veggies get scarce. Planning ahead means more than just planning out the weeks meals :)
And, its monday again and I'm down another 1.3kg!! :) can't beat that feeling!
