My great-aunt pickles and cans green tomatoes. She uses the Mrs. Wages pickling spice packet and I think there are directions on the back. She puts in green tomatoes (usually quartered) with garlic cloves, one or two small, slim red peppers (I'm guessing chili peppers) and celery hunks.

It is so good.

That is all I know.

We don't really have canning here, but I make Jam (what you call jelly ) jelly (which is clear jam) and marmalade, and sometimes pickles - chutney mostly, not whole pickled stuff. I get my recipes from the Women's Institute book

I can tons of stuff. We grow a lot of food in our garden plots and my girls and I can and pickle every summer. The Ball Blue Book of Canning and Preserving is a great starting point if you're new to canning. My other favorite books on the subject are Preserving the Harvest and Putting Food By. Both are full of great how-to info and recipes.

Best thing to do is see what you have a lot of or can get cheap - do you grow your own fruit/veg, do you have a farmer's market where you can get a ton of stuff? Then find a recipe to suit. If you can give me an idea of what you'll be preservign I can look out some recipes
