Instructions for preserving fruit by oven canning describe lining the oven with asbestos or using a dripping pan, placing sterilized jars on a warm surface, packing fruit tightly with syrup, leaving rubber seals off initially, and heating briefly before sealing. Pineapples may be canned in their own juice with sugar in a set ratio.
