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

I 'canned' lots of tomatoes last year. They looked beautiful but it was a
long and energy consuming process and, to be frank, we were disappointed
with the result. might just as well have frozen them. The jars take a lot of
space too.

My favourite preserving method, apart from freezing, is drying. Which
reminds me, I have a box of apples to do ...
