Note: H5N1 bang-up root for canning data is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here are approximately of my other favorite canning books in addition to supplies.


My thoughts:
Tomorrow is National Can-It-Forward Day, a twenty-four hr menses to deal portion the joys of preserving, in addition to I idea I'd portion what I intend is the perfect commencement fruit canning projection for a would-be canner. It is super easy, has lilliputian prep, doesn't yield a ton (so you lot don't accept to pass a whole twenty-four hr menses standing over vats of boiling H2O on your commencement go) in addition to the results are delish. Since you lot are cooking the plums downwards inward the irksome cooker, unless your irksome cooker is defective, at that spot is no lead chances of scorching, burning or overcooking the plums similar at that spot is on the stovetop. You simply allow them gear upward in addition to gear upward in addition to cook. Even if the liquid is at the "mostly evaporated" phase spell you lot are sleeping, it volition hold out hours the mixture would dry out out beyond use. Very forgiving. Plus it solely makes a minor batch in addition to therefore you lot tin procedure these inward a regular stockpot (as long every bit it is tall plenty to stand upward for H2O a few inches higher upward the cans). I purpose my 8-quart stock pot in addition to the handbasket from the $10 home canning uncovering kit (you tin besides purpose a folded upward towel inward the bottom, you lot simply don't desire the jars to impact the bottom of the pot) for minor batches similar these. The H2O boils much to a greater extent than apace inward my stockpot than it does inward my large canning pot in addition to you lot belike already accept ane inward your kitchen. Perfect if you lot are simply trying canning on for size.
