Canning is super easy, especially if you mostly do jams/jellies/preserves and use a hot water bath rather than a pressure cooker. I do some things in the pressure canner though and it isn't as hard as it seems. I love to can. I have my grandmother's Ball Blue Book and it is the first thing I recommend to people who want to get started in canning.
