    ‘Rebel Canning’ Is Having a Moment, Whether or Not It Should (msn.com) How rebel canners deviate from USDA guidelines varies according to the canner. Some choose to make their pickles and jam using the “open kettle” method, in which hot product is packed into hot jars and sealed without...

    I am a new canner and today I attempted to can pickles BUT I ended up burning my hand before I could get my jar of cucumbers and brine into the water bath. When I got back from the minor med🙄 I put my jar into the refrigerator with the intention of completing the canning tomorrow. I was...

    Just ran across this............... They are not listed in the menu yet though. (Edit) on page 2 https://www.reusablecanninglids.com/

    I got a partial case I bought back in 2008-09. Does the sealing compound go bad?

    For those of you who can your own food, at what age do you toss them out? If this has been covered I apologize. I did a search and couldn't find an answer. I also did a search online and most seem to agree that after a year your canned items start to lose their nutritional value. And most...

    As most people who can their garden veggies know, there is a HUGE shortage in canning lids. Since COVID, people are starting to take interest in survival skills and self-reliance. The interest in gardening and canning has taken it's toll on the canning lid availability. Canning lids are the new...

    For those that will need lids, I hope you all have already filled that need. I don't see where Ball has gotten back in gear and filled the stores stocks. All I see are a few jars occasionally, no lids. Sometimes I'll see flats with rings. Noticed yesterday in our local farm store, there's a new...

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and was hoping to get feedback from the canners on this forum. This weekend I made two different hot sauces. The first batch came out to 7 half pints as follows: Smoked peppers, garlic cloves and white onion. 2 cups of lemon juice, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 2...

    Taste-tested some pressure canned chicken drumsticks from June of 2017. Lid was tight, hissed inward when I opened it, smelled perfectly fine ... basically like canned chicken. We'll see in a few hours if I turn into a zombie :D: Tasted fine but it was very greasy, and literally fell away from...

    Looking to can jalapeno peppers and was looking at some canning recipes. Several of the recipes say jalapeno peppers can be canned with a hot water bath. From my understanding a hot water bath is not hot enough to kill bot botulism. The solution used in canning the peppers is vinegar and...

    A heads up to all who it concerns. Walmart is running Ball mason pint jars for $5 a case. The lids and rims are worth $5 alone. I've never seen canning items during Black Friday, but I'm happy. Stack'em up!

    I'm looking for another canner and was considering the All American - the two we have now are Presto. Has anyone used the 30 or 41 quart All American with two layers of quart jars at once? It almost seems too much. On the other hand, I'm considering just the 15.5 quart because I haven't done...

    Tattler Lids For those of you with experience using these I have a couple questions. Do you use your regular metal rings to hold the lid on while canning? How well do the gaskets hold up? What is the best way to store the rings? Do you heat them before placing them on jars? Can you use them...

    I have three apple trees, and this is the first year they've all done really well... except one of them has apple scar. So I'm canning all of those apples - my first time to try any kind of canning - and I'm using the oven. After cooking the apples and turning them into applesauce, I put it in...
  16. Ladies Section
    I apologize if this has been discussed, but there is a LOT of information on the boards and I haven't seen it here or elsewhere so.... One of the things on my list to stockpile is canning supplies. Whether we are only dealing with a short term economic collapse or personal financial difficulty...

    For those who pressure can a lot, when you do more than 1 batch in a day, do you rinse out the pot between batches? Just wondering if the small amount of residual oils/juices that sometimes escape the jars affect the 2nd batch of a different food.
  18. Food and Water
    So many of the recipes for tomato sauce call for simmering to reduce the sauce to the desired thickness. It's almost impossible for me to lose the juice from all that simmering, so I use a fine sieve/sifter to separate the sauce from the juice at the beginning. Lots of people don't cook...

    Found some itty bitty 4 oz Ball canning jars. They look like exactly the right size for single servings of vegetable dip, etc. Soooo.... are there any racks specifically made for them? if not, is there some reliable way to keep them in the rack and not all over the canner? any tricks/tips...

    Who here has some recipes on canning squash and zucchini? For fathers day I got a Presto 01370 8 quart pressure cooker. Then today my wife bought me a Presto 1745 16 quart pressure canner. The squash and zucchini are still producing, which means I need to start canning. How do you can your...
