Canning Fruit

Canning fruit is one of the best places to start if you’re new to preserving. Most fruit, from apples and peaches to pears and berries, needs nothing more than a water bath canner and a tested recipe.

If you already have fruit and you’re ready to can it, the fastest place to start is Canning Fruits – Perfect Projects for the Beginning Canner, where you’ll learn how to can whatever you’ve got, organized by fruit instead of by date.

If your fruit isn’t one of the common ones, it’s worth double checking that a plain water bath recipe is actually the right method for it, because there are a few exceptions.

Where to Start

• Canning Apples – the classic starting point, and forgiving if you’re brand new.
• Canning Peaches – a good next step, packed in syrup or juice.
• Canning Cherries – have jars of cherries on hand for making cherry pie, pouring over ice cream, or using in a cherry cobbler.
