If you've ever tasted homemade jam, you know the delicious rewards canning can bring. But although it is fun and rewarding, canning is not
an easy task. First of all, you need to grow or buy fresh fruit and wash
it carefully. Then the clean fruit has to be mashed, heated to a boil, and
mixed with sugar and pectin to get it to gel. Once the fruit is ready, it
must be poured carefully into clean, hot glass jars. Next, add a lid and
submerge the jars in a boiling water bath for about 10 minutes. As they
cool, the 'pop' of the lid tells you they have sealed.
