Canning TONS of Onions | Caramelized & Onion Jam

Started with about 35 pounds of chopped onions, added 4 sticks of butter, and slow cooked for 24 hrs - or until deep rich caramel color. Can these as is for caramelized onions, or use as base for the onion jam! If you want the details on the Onion Jam - here's a link: • GARDEN TO JAR | Sweet ...
Delicious 😋 The "safe" time for pressure canning these is 70 minutes, at our elevation it's 10 pounds of pressure. If you're up higher, adjust accordingly ♥

“No one come attack me for this” I can’t imagine anyone being mean to this woman… she’s so sweet and kind. I love your videos and I’m just learning now how to start canning and I’m hoping to start a little garden soon!

[@teresadaniels7207]

I live in the UK. Have been making jams marmalade pickle and chutney for 50 years and have only ever used jars that previously held food that had been bought in the stores. These I get from friends and family and have never had any problems. You have to do what’s needs to be done. As long as you are confident with your results don’t worry about others. You do a great job encouraging people.

[@jadacaniford7300]

I wanted to share how I peeled tomatoes this year. I cored and put on sheet pan and baked at 400 for about 20 minutes and the skins fell off so I made tomato powder with the skins in the dehydrator. Worked beautifully!!!

[@lynhanna917]

I did this method but washed, air dried then froze tomatoes. When I went to bake the tomatoes that's when I cored them - it is a pain when the tomatoes are still frozen. Next year I plan to wash, dry and core before they are frozen. So much nicer to process tomatoes when I want to do them not when everything needs to be processed at the same time.

[@loonyrun]

Mostly all things I ever canned I did in reused jars with those lids. as long as the sealant isn't damaged or looks filthy and the lid isn't damaged either, it shouldn't have any bad consequences. You do you Rachel! Also your onions and onion jam look fantabulous.

[@TheLazyDutchGardener]

We started saving all of the jars from anything we buy in the store! We use them over and over until they fail and then only use them for quick pickles that last in the fridge! Don't feel bad for showing us all your hard work and awesome canning videos! Thank you so much!

Here in Australia we havent been able to get anything canning equipment so we have no choice but to improvise and those jars are all we can get, they hold up well to the canning process, we do what we can do Rachael ☺☺

[@averagejoesmiling456]

Three things: 1) Rachel, my Mom and I also use random jars with the button tops for canning as well and we've had great success with them over the years, so in my opinion and experience there is nothing wrong with using them. 2) It's good to know you didn't have an overwhelming strong odor of onions in your home from roasting the onions for that many hours! Works for me! :-) 3) Todd, how on earth did you manage to cut up all those raw onions without tearing up like mad???? Please, please, tell me your secret, because I can barely cut up one raw onion without having tears running down my cheeks! Todd, you definitely have a super power!! Absolutely LOVE your channel!! Take care and God bless you both!

That's a deal! Some of the older ones are better than the new stuff.

[@johnbelcher7955]

I've been recycling jars forever, I am 54 and last year was the first time I bought the jars with the two-piece lids and I have used the jars with the orange seals for a few years, my mother used recycled jars and have never had a problem! Maybe a UK thing lol.

[@alamo2211]

When I was a kid my grandmother canned food from her garden and used whatever jars she had available - mayonnaise, jelly, and so many others. Back then it was all glass. We never had a problem. I am at the same point as you - I’ve used almost all of my available canning jars and will need to go looking!

[@sherrychilders873]

Hahaha I about fell to the floor on the don't pay anymore than a dollar fifty or seventy five per jar. I bought my jars for a nickel each when I started canning. I have seen the latest prices and will break down if I have to but if not able to find at thrifty stores estate sales I go and generally I count the jars divide asking price in half and offer to buy em all. I can year around and when I open a new box of lids I purchase 2 more.

[@amymurray111]

My grandma used to make homemade marmalade and water bath can it in a smorgasbord of old shop bought jars. I don’t know of many canners in the UK, usually it’s just jam/marmalade, and all of them reuse store jars x

Dear Rachel and all on here I am from a country village in Ontario Canada. All my life I watched my mom can in reused Bick Pickle jars. My mom knows what she is doing and never once did we ever get sick. I watched she told me if any rust or damage on jars or lids don't use. clean them well as long as the seal looks good she would use. She used some jars for years and years and years. I only got the store bought jars when entering in competitions as they don't allow reused store bought jars. This my friends is how she learnt to get by in the 1940's during the war when good luck getting or affording new mason jars.She would say hey I have some jars Karen don't waste money on jars if you have good jars that jam pickles etc have some in I stock piled jars over the last 1.5 year and grew 200 x more vegetables so I have tons of jars and won't run out. I also did try for our own consumption to pressure can in a resused jar and they sealed great. Done green beans and peaches and cream corn. Thanks Rachel for being real and no one better not say anything bad about reusing store bought jars. It is the smart frugal thing to do. God Bless and Stay Safe Todd and Rachel!!!! Again from and little tiny sleepy village SW of Thunder Bay, ON. Canada!

[@1870s]

Much love Karen, Much ♥

[@jamienixon5213]

You can buy new lug lids and they are supposed to be safe for water bath canning, but not pressure canning. I'd say save all of your best jars/new lids for pressure canning and put the extra risk with high acid water bath canned foods! I also save all of my jars, I even spend a little more to buy things in glass instead of plastic/tin. If nothing else they're excellent for pickling/fermenting! I think I'll have to try canning some caramelized onions. Thanks for sharing!

[@artistvictoria8500]

There’s no shame using perfectly good leftover jars that you have on hand. I was stuck in that situation with no jars and did the same thing. I was thankful that I had them to use. You have to make due sometimes in order to be prepared and provide for your family. I’m an experienced canner and took great care. Pressure canning with those jars worked out fine. I just used them first. I love caramelized onions. I’m going to try your maple onion jam. Thanks!

[@seedyhollow]

A little leary of pressure canning with them but they do look fine and yes will use first

[@heatherk8931]

I use them and Tostitos jars. No problem water bath canning, not sure if I've pressure canned in them.

[@ladydragonsrage]

I have watched this video so many times. It's great. Yesterday I bought 6lbs of onions and used my crock pot. My husband asked me late last night what he was smellingand I asked why? He said it smells delicious. I don't have a pressure canner so I used muffin tins to freeze them into servings. I made 20 total.

When I buy spaghetti sauce I only buy if they are regular mouth button top so go for it! You are awesome!
