Here's the scoop:
1. Go get some jars at Menards or your local hardware store. You'll need quart jars for soups and juices and half-pint for jams.
2. Buy the pectin at Whole foods Market. It uses less sugar and the jam is super-yummy!
3. Buy a pressure canner - this is absolutely necessary for tomato soup and juices
4. check out garage sales for old canning pots and other equipment. Cheap.
5. VERY IMPORTANT- find a friend to do this with you. My friend Jeanne gave me the push to can and now I can't stop. It's more fun to can with a friend - chatting during the process time and help mashing all those tomatoes.
6. Have Fun- It's not as hard as you might think.
