Ball Jars used to sell a booklet about canning, freezing and preserving. What equipment was needed, how to sterilize, when to blanch, how long to boil the jars of veggies, etc. Before you take on any canning, you need to know the basics. If done improperly, can be dangerous. I used to have a big garden and had never done any canning. I followed the instructions in that booklet and canned all kinds of vegetables, froze some, made pickles, jams and jellies. If I remember correctly there were also recipes in the booklet One year, we had a bumper crop of tomatoes and I canned over 50 quarts. Never thought we'd eat them all, but we did.
