Back when I was living in Minnesota there was this u-pick place out by 
Savage, MN. We would go and pick strawberries to make in to jam, a 
morning of picking and a day of canning would give us a years supply of 
strawberry jam.. It' s actually really easy to make jam. The materials 
are cheap and easy to find. Spend time in any thrift shop and you can 
find as many canning jars as you want. The lids, always use new ones, 
and screw bands can be found in any hardware store. Any very large pot 
can be used, you can do without the fancy rack. The two items that you 
should by is the jar handling tool and the canning funnel.
