General Ripening Dates for Fruits and Vegetables in Australia

Please note that actual dates of various fruit may vary by as much as 6 weeks due to weather conditions, geographical location of the farm, and other factors. Australia's a big country, with considerable variation in climate. It is always advisable to call a farm earlier than the expected beginning of a season to check on the status of the fruit you are interested in.

Home Canning Kits

Features:


* All the tools you need for hot waterbath canning - in one comprehensive set!
* Complete with 21 1/2 qt. enameled waterbath canner and "Ball Blue Book" of canning.
* Also includes canning rack, funnel, jar lifter, jar wrencher, bubble freer, tongs and lid lifter.

This is the same type of  standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars and lids (and the jars are reusable).
