Quik info for those that are considering canning..I'll post a few links
I've been canning tomato product this summer.Ketchups,soups,stewed/whole tomatoes,sauces..It's bee a lot of fun.Even better if you have the equipment.That Presto is just awesome!
The Ball Blue Book, is a must have book when canning.
I couldn't agree more! You can pretty much can anything, but it is the difference in the process times for the different foods that will keep them from spoiling. I do applesauce and jams.... I make a kick butt pasta sauce, but I haven't tried jarring it yet.... But if I were to try I would refer to my Ball Book!!

The new Ball Blue Book..Has the yellow cover.I've heard it's pretty much the same as the original.Really enjoyed the Ball's Complete Book Of Home preserving.You probably know the one..I like the print..I'm going blind..lol...
Home preserves..applesauce..Nobody can beat that!!.I have yet to be able to can applesauce.It's gone before I even get the jars prepped..It's apple season to!!!!! Maybe this year..
I canned fruits a years ago and would love to can more but the kitchen here has limit space. I wanted to can tomato sauce but my tomato plants are not giving me much. And I love the ball blue book!
