Making and canning my raspberries into jam.

So finally I decided to just jump right into it.  I have been so nervous about canning, I kept putting it off. I organized all of the materials, read the directions four times, then I finally began.  The process was easy once I felt comfortable with it. I did a boiling water bath to seal the jars. I had the wax, but I didn't use it this time. Overall I had one problem and it was a simple one I think.  After filling the jars I put them in the wire rack to lower it into the water and the jars fell over.  This should not be the hardest thing to solve, so I am sure that I can figure it out.  Now I have sealed jars of jam!!!!  It was fun and I was glad that I did it.
