Ok never tried it before but thought it would be something good to learn.
So I bought a magazine that was on the rack at my local grocery store.
Bought a "canning kit" on line (late in the season none of the local stores I went to had a "kit"). Bought some good looking strawberries, some jars, some sugar , and pectin(used to thicken). followed the directions and 24 hours later (needed the jars to cool) I have GREAT strawberry jam. Seals are tight, have given most away to friends to try. (with great reviews). If I can do it anyone "can can". Now with dehydrating and utilizing a root- cellar for other items, I have touched some great ways to eat healthier and if in an emergency have some comfort food available if it calls for staying put.
