Rose! I have this tool kit and I just use a large stockpot for water bath processing. I'm planning to get a pressure canner in a few weeks, once I decide on the size.

Hey lady! What kind of canning/jarring kit do you have?

I’m totally hopping on this bandwagon. I’ve just started baking my own bread. Last fall I made my first ever homemade jam (spicy tomato: http://www.massdistraction.org/weblog/recipes/#TomatoJam) and this Spring I’m going to try my hand at some raised bed gardening. I wasn’t taught how to do any of it growing up, but doing these things myself now is extremely satisfying.

It was just pomegranate juice, honey, and pectin. There is a recipe for it on the pectin instruction packet. I used the low-sugar pectin since I was using honey. I don’t know if using the regular kind would have helped it be less runny!

OMG the pomegranate jelly sounds amazing…do you still have the recipe for that? I had the same thing happen with my jelly not thickening enough and having to add more pectin. Keep up the good work!!
