Default preserving (canning) fruit and veg

Does anyone do this (apart from freezing)?

If so, could you recommend somewhere to buy the equipment? I have been
to the website of Lakeland, who have some items, mostly just jars, but I
wonder if anyone knows anywhere else?
TIA

These people might be of help - they have a list of UK suppliers - looks
like wholesale but they could perhaps point you in the right direction :~)

There's these two, which seems to come up all over the place, but are in the
US: http://www.canningpantry.com/ and http://www.home-food-processing.com/

General canning info - recipes etc http://www.canningpantry.com/

Might be easier to preserve in glass? My mum used to do this to great effect
:~)
