Canning jam and apple butter

So, yesterday I finally got around to making my jams and apple butter and getting them into jars and all that good stuff. (I swear it wasn't laziness that took so long -- it was due to the fact that when I told UPS one-day delivery on some canning supplies, they apparently thought that meant whenever they got around to it.)

I remember my mom and grandma canning all kinds of stuff when I was little, but I've never done this before, and my friend Kim (who wrote the beautiful Charleston posts) gave me a couple of great resources online to check out.

I'll post more about the process once I'm sure the jams have all set well and I'm not going to poison anyone. I'm planning to crack one open this weekend and taste. :)
