I live in Puerto Vallarta and the mango trees near my house are heavy with fruit.
I would have thought that the Mexican people would can food but have had difficulty finding finding jars and supplies. I have tried all of the major supper markets and they do not have canning stuff. I have found one kitchen store in town that carries canning jars but nothing else like funnels and tools. Does anyone know of stores in PV that carry canning stuff? Help

With all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are available year round, why can?

Ditto, why can? With the exception of Pickles! You can not buy pickles in Mexico that taste like home made pickles.

These are ripe off the tree and really better. I like to make jelly and jam. My mango jalapeno serrano is really special! Try keeping that without canning!! Just looking for help. Not your negative comments

Send me a private message and I will send it. It would not reproduce well in this forum.

Here are some sites that sale the jars and lids for canning in Mexico: http://ballmasonjar.mx/producto/caja-mason-jar-8-oz-boca-regular/ Also merccardolibre which reminds me of Amazon has a lot of Ball canning materials: http://listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/ball-jars#D[A:ball-jars] I have successfully made the most wonderful dill pickles and preserves using refrigerator recipes found with a google search. My favorite easy dill pickle recipe can be found on the Homesick Texan site http://www.homesicktexan.com/2007/07/with-patience-comes-pickles.html an easy strawberry jam recipe (I have done this with mangos too) on the la Cocina de leslie site (it is in English). http://www.lacocinadeleslie.com/2010/02/leslies-best-empanadas.html Perhaps the benefit of having such an abundance of great produce is that we don't have to worry about the stock pile as much as before but great to know how to extend the bounty past its season.
