Does the word canning scare you? Does it make you wan't to crawl in a corner and suck your thumb? I'm telling you right now...it is not as scary as it may appear. I started making jelly last summer and it's soooo easy! All you have to do is get a box of Sure-Jell and go by the directions. These are a list of the things you will need: Ball jars, Lids, Sure-Jell, lots and lots of sugar, and your fruit you have picked and labored over. All you do is cook out all your juice from your fruit. Once you've boil your juice you are going to have to strain it really good. I usually strain my fruit through a towel placed in a strainer. After you think you have all the gunk out of your juice you start boiling it and just go by your Sure-Jell instruction. Make sure you boil all your jars and lids before cooking. You want to keep your tops hot till you place them on your jar. When you've poored your juice and placed the lids on let them set till lids start popping. Hearing lids popping is the best sound in the world! It is all worth the time and effort! Once you do it the first time its like riding a bike...you'll never forget it. Enjoy!
