Nope, it's actually very easy once you are familiar with the process. You just have to make sure that you stick to all of the appropriate safety procedures. Also, you do need some special equipment. If you have a nice big pot, all you will need is a set like this, and a pack of mason jars.
Canning can be really fun, and people always seem impressed when you give them preserves that you made at home.
You can get a cheap canning kit: https://www.amazon.com/Presto-09995-Function-Canning-Kit/dp/B001V9K8A6
It will save fingers and faces :)
Then a cheap stainless funnel set up: https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Funnels-Set/dp/B000FKERMW which I boil while managing the bottles.
So like a total of $22 bucks.
Hi! The easiest way to get started canning is to read over the National Center for Home Food Preservation's site (they even offer a self-study program you can do at home!) or the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving . It's VERY important to know what you are doing when you are canning, as while canning is easy, you can also improperly can items, which can lead to botulism, which can make you very sick and can kill you.
Water bath canning is a great for getting your feet wet in the canning world (ha ha! Feet wet. Water bath. I slay me). Water baths are for items like fruit and tomato products. All you need for this is a pot tall enough to cover the canning jars that sit on a towel or some kind of rack with 2 inches of water and a lid for the pot. I use a stock pot, and when I went to buy it I took along a jar and measured it in the pot to make sure I was getting the right size. Then you need jars, lids, and rings. If you get the jars new in a box, they come with the lids and rings.
If your budget can swing it, or if someone else would like to go in on it with you, a canning kit is really nice to have. It makes canning a lot easier and less frustrating.
When your sister has gotten the swing of water bath canning, and if she wants to try canning meat or vegetables, your family might be interested in getting her a pressure canner for the holidays. The nice thing about a pressure canner is that it can also be used as a water bath canner.
If you get her the Presto canner linked above, get the three piece weight to replace the mushroom looking weight. This way she won't have to relay on the dial gauge (which can be unreliable), all she has to do is listen for the steam escaping and the rocking.
The beginning of my canning kit. I know its not everything I need, but its a start...and I want to make strawberry jam while they're in season!! BINGO!
