www.ball.com I believe is the Ball canning internet address. I swear by the Ball Blue Book, we used Ball canning jars for tomatoes. You can use any jar that has Ball on the bottom of it for jellie/jams. Dearest Grandmother in law when she was alive god rest her soul and the kids & I would can every summer. Make jams & jellies, senfgerken, tomatoes, relishes and lots of others but we always used the Ball Blue Book. Check to see if you can get one at the local library on loan then maybe copy the recipes you like. All I can say is time & patience, as it takes oodles of time to make things, but come this winter you will be so glad you took the time to do that !
