What is the main idea of this passage?

If you've ever tasted homemade jam, you know the

delicious rewards canning can bring. Although it is fun and

fulfilling, canning is not an easy task. First of all, you need

to grow or buy fresh fruit and wash it carefully. Then the

clean fruit has to be mashed, heated to a boil, and mixed

with sugar and pectin to get it to gel. Once the fruit is

ready, it must be poured carefully into clean, hot glass jars.

Next, add a lid and submerge the jars in a boiling water

bath for about 10 minutes. As they cool, the "pop" of the

lids tells you they have sealed.
