Good advice already given here. Here are two sites with great directions/help/recipes:
http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_home.html - USDA recommended site
http://www.pickyourown.org/allaboutcanning.htm - great resource, follows USDA guidelines on times, pressure, etc
Where exactly when you say "close to Charlotte"? We're in Mt Airy. I'd be willing to help you, but don't know if we're close enough.
Actually I have plans to teach canning classes beginning next year - hope everything falls in place.
