I canned umteen jars of red plum jelly from plums picked from a friend's tree. Nearly 70 and the first time I have ever canned anything. I didn't do too bad if you don't count the huge mess I made of my kitchen (for days). My jelly is excellent, by the way. I did not have ant idea of the amount of sugar it take s to make jelly.....but my husband says it is as goo as Smucker's . Which my the way you can get a lot cheaper than I made it at Wat-mart.
