I recently bought canning equipment and this week I decided it was time to give it a try. So far I managed to make apple butter and strawberry jam. It is such a good feeling to be able to make things to stock your pantry and it's really pretty easy.
I used my crock pot to make the apple butter, it saved me a lot of standing over the stove and stirring. For the jam I just followed the guidelines of what to put in and what order they should go in. My berries floated to the top 2/3 of my jars during processing, but according to all the articles and such that I read it's quite normal. Apparently berries are buoyant.
