>>>I realized that I have done some pickling (type of pickles good after
a couple
of days) and vinegars, and even some beer/wine brewing, but never any
canning,
including jellies/preserves. Asking the kitchen goddesses/gods on this
list,
help direct me. Recommend a good beginner's preserves recipe. (or for
canning
fruit or veggies) A list of what I need to have. Tips and Tricks to
remember or
watch out for. Good articles or books to cross reference. That way I
can
experiment a bit this weekend.

Um....I wish I could help you here. I was taught canning/preserving at
my mother's knee. We didn't actually "measure" stuff. Mom and Grandma
did almost all recipes by 'feel'. I was most frustrated til I got the
knack. I remember that when canning fruits and preserves, the worst was
having to boil the jars and lids - and using the tongs to take them
outta the boil bath. (I broke almost 2 dozen a seaon!)
I have a Farm Home Journal preserving/canning cookbook. It has most of
what Mom taught me.
Good luck!
