Jams & Jellies log

Not proper recipes, but notes for me of what I have done that has generally worked.  Improper canning technique can make you sick, especially when working outside of traditional recipes where a very high proportion of sugar is used to preserve the fruit from spoiling.  If you're not well versed in food safety and experienced with canning, you should probably stop reading here.
