I don't often can at the restaurant because of time constraints, but I do can a variety of fruits and vegetables for use at home.

Summer and Fall brings an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables to the table. Cucumbers are always plentiful in the area I live and so I often make use of them by making Dill pickles.
