I'll edit this post for more. I know most states have these websites/offices. When contactuing these folks be careful what you tell them. I contacted Arapahoe County, and I had the word "Arizona" in my e-mail and they were pretty quick to refer me to the Arizona Extension office instead of answering my question.

Preserving
I use the Ball Blue Book of Preserving almost exclusively for my canning recipes. It is pretty comprehensive, and has a section in the front all about canning with illustrations. All Ace Hardware Stores should have it in stock if you want one now.

Thanks for the reminder JohnTRourke! Do not forget to refer to the section that shows the Altitude Adjustments.
