Canning

I am gonna attempt to "canning" this year. Ive been reading and reading all about it. I have a wonderful neighbor  across the street who is gonna teach me a bit here there. He is a sweet old man and I hope to learn lots from him. If you have any recipes or suggestions for a newbie please comment and ill take it all in. I am hoping I can get a friend or two to join me on this quest so it can be a fun craft to do together. I do need the equipment first. My neighbor has some stuff he has stored away and needs to find so that will help me a lot. He also has tons of books that he used over the years. I want to learn now but I have not even started me garden yet lol! Im jumping the gun! I cant wait to start blogging more about this down the road.
