>>1293578jam is easy; go to your local library and see if they have any canning cook books
or just use recipes from here:
http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can7_jam_jelly.htmlcanning jars are available pretty much anywhere...you will need a tall stock pot
if you don't have something like a cake tray to put in the bottom, the easy solution is just to get extra rings and set the jars on those
I recommend making a small batch first and letting it cool so you can judge if you want to use a thickener like pectin or not....it varies with taste and the fruit themselves
