Note: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 not bad rootage for canning information is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books every bit good every bit equipment I bring out useful.

My thoughts:

I had roughly mirabelle plums leftover subsequently on making jam every bit good every bit eating roughly out of manus every bit good every bit so I sentiment I'd bear witness pickling some. I love pickled fruit every bit good every bit hadn't had a acquit chances to pickle plums before. I sentiment their pocket-size size, sweetness flesh every bit good every bit tart pare would alive on not bad inwards a pickle. I was right! These pickles are sweet, puckery every bit good every bit intensely flavored. Although the plum are French specialty, the spices I used are a slight nod to Scandinavian cooking. They are only every bit good every bit so aromatic, I knew they'd alive on a not bad fit.

Since I made such a pocket-size batch, I used my Ball Home Canning Discovery Kit handbasket every bit good every bit my largest stock pot instead of my large canner. Since it was a smaller pot, the H2O came to a boil quickly. In fact, this whole projection took nearly 15 minutes, including processing the cans. You could also easily slip this appal inwards with a batch of something else you lot are canning. I only precisely trying to relieve the plums before it was every fight proficient belatedly every bit good every bit didn't direct any other canning projects educate to go.

Some thoughts: If you lot direct more than plums, I intend this recipe could alive on easily doubled. You could also slice of chore ii wide-mouthed pint jars instead of i quart. I direct a bunch of vintage quart jars my mom's friends direct passed on to me every bit good every bit I like to slice of chore them when I can.
