This woman has a couple of simple videos in her blog about canning. It was really helpful for me to watch how the process went (besides just reading it), before I did it for the first time.

My friend Julie, who grew up in Australia and New Zealand, siad that it is referred to as "bottling" there instead of "canning". It makes more sense, I guess.
I am bottling up some applesauce today!

So far I've got jars of bramble jelly, blackcurrant jam, and marrow and ginger jam stacked up. Also a few jars of aple butter, but there will be more of that to make as I have access to a rather large orchard here at work. Thinking about also trying my hand at some rosehip jam. Tons of that ripening in all the hedgerows.

Jarring might be more accurate, but doesn't sound so good.

I made about twenty-two 8 oz. jars of rosemary garlic jelly this week.
I like it with roast chicken, roast pork or lamb, and chops.

They look so pretty! I can't imagine what it tastes like. Is it hard to make?
DS and I canned 16 pints of venison on New Year's Eve and they turned out wonderful. I hadn't canned in years and had sold all my jars and equipment on a yard sale the last time we moved. I never thought I would can any more until he called and asked me if I would help him. I really enjoyed it.__________________

That's very cool helping your son can New Year's eve! Originally Posted by Bike Chick

Simple to make using garlic, rosemary, vinegar, sugar, and pectin. I just followed a garlic jelly recipe and added plenty of fresh chopped rosemary.
I'm addicted to rosemary garlic jelly.
