    hello, This sounds so good. I was wondering how I could make more than say the 4
    cups? I would like to put up several Jars of it, in say the Pint Jars, or the
    Quart jars.
    I have never done any canning before, and this is a good year, for me,
    specially with next month.
    I recieve a Widows’ Pension Benefit from my late hubby who passed away, in
    2002. And Friday we get my last back pay check.
    I could go and buy fruits I like and need and can them.
    yours truly,
