Leigh,
Thanks so much for the information. I will be looking into the web site that you posted and I will also look for the ball canning book. I will definately be a beginner.
I am a little nervous because of bacteria that can be in the food if you don't seal it correctly. This really is my only fear. If you have any suggestions regarding this let me know. Is there any sure way of knowing if the jars sealed??
Thanks again
Jackied
