Coffee Jelly, ForJars canning lids review, and - a giveaway-CLOSED!

As promised, here is a video on making coffee jelly! Surprising and tasty!
I will say, based on my experience with this jelly, add probably 1/4 cup more pectin than called for.
I am also starting a series on reviewing canning jar lids. There have been so many issues with canning lids the last couple of years, I want to show you my experiences with them. This video will feature For Jars Canning Lids.
Also, I will be doing a giveaway for 2 - $25 gift certificates from For Jars. Please stay until the end of the video for details. The deadline for the giveaway is June 1, 2022.

Thank you for sharing what you do. We need people like you

[@wandasmith3372]

Vickie, I have not tried these lids but I'm impressed with what I've seen. I would definitely use these lids to can anything that I use button tops to can with. Thank you for your demonstration.

[@texanlife8258]

Vickie, I so admire your patience! I have not used these lids. I have a lot of ground beef coming, and I think these would be great to use in canning the meat.

[@brigettebolt8861]

Now this is amazing! I LOVE coffee. I am definitely going to make this jelly! I have heard many good things about ForJars lids and am definitely going to order them. Thank you!

[@pattycake57]

I’ve learned something new, today! Must try it, thanks

[@suesweetpea7]

MISS VICKIE, YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE FORJARS, I HAVE BEEN USING THEM FOR SOME TIME NOW AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS SEALED.

[@KettleKitchen]

I use them, swear by them, and will continue to use them. I truley have had no issue at all for the ForJars Lids. I love the coffee idea for a jam or jelly. Thank you for the video and content!!! Can't wait until Jam It Up June...so GLAD you are a part of this collaboration!

[@arlenewickman493]

Wow. Never heard of coffee jelly. Love watching your channel 😁

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Coffee Jelly is really good. Have not had it for years. Hot biscuits and over ice cream.

[@americaneden3090]

This looks lovely thank u for sharing. I adore coffee! Prayers for u and ur family.

[@randybacorn6900]

I watched this video to see how the ForJars lids worked for you. Glad they worked well for you. I bought some but have not tried them yet. My first time using them will be to pressure can green beans

[@renitameares3838]

I have never had a lid fail from the Big canning name until this year. I have had 5 lid fails from multiple batches this year from lids that 8 purchased since last year. At least I can put each one in the fridge to use but it’s still frustrating. I am eager to try my For Jar lids.

[@karenparsons4401]

I keep hearing great reviews on these lids & am anxious to try them.

[@villagesteader3552]

Definitely making this for the coffee lovers on my Christmas list! ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

[@grammyskitchen367]

I just ordered forjars can’t wait to try them

[@bettyrandall8243]

I have used the lids and I have never had a failure.Love these lids.

[@freddeebrown4051]

I haven't yet tired those lids, but have only heard good reviews. I'm going to to make them my go to lids for all my canning. Thanks for sharing and will watch for your other videos comparing lids.

[@millermdiehl]

I have not used forjar lids yet. I definitely need to try them. Everyone seems to love them which is nice. I definitely need to try that coffee jelly. My husband would love it. It would taste great in a cold glass of milk.

[@athalenegross5517]

Vicki I love watching you try out new recipes .. i have never used the lids but I would love to try them, I gave all of my lids and used jars to a lady that needed them really bad last year and I gave to purchase all new I have a small garden and I will need to can tomato juice, salsa and peppers.

[@annettesanchez7062]

Hi my friend this looks wonderful thank you so much this was fun 🤩

[@dianeiverson3727]

I haven’t used the ForJars lids, but am having so many issues with Ball/Kerr lids, that I would love to try. It seems many channels are now approving them. I would totally switch over to using them as opposed to the other brand. There’s nothing worse than spending time and labor only to have the lids fail! God bless!

[@barbmurphy8770]

I have never used For Jars lids before but I'm anxious to try for all my canning. I am also excited to try the coffee jelly recipe although I am planning to use Sure Gel which I have on hand. I am thinking a thick syrup might be more useful in recipes than a thick jelly. Thanks for sharing.

[@cindymcgraw6484]

I have never used the ForJar lids but would try them. This recipe sounds very different and good. Thank you!

[@deb3bee]

Looking forward to the collab! I have never heard of coffee jelly. I wonder if my hubby would like that. I haven’t tried ForJar lids as of yet. I’m always interested in new canning lid brands. If I had some, I would use them to can my green beans when I harvest them.

[@liancabastian6732]

Omg I have that exact canner and have never used it. 😳 great recipe 😋

[@tiptopgirl4124]

Ewww. Sounds amazing. Coffee jelly. A hot buttered biscuit. What could be better. Havent seen the ForJars lids for sale yet but will be looking. Thanks for this recipe !

[@bettyskaggs5503]

coffee jelly is interesting, might be really good. Thanks for introducing us to another brand of lids. I have never used this brand, never heard of them before.

[@IngeLyck]

You are such a blessing my friend 🌹🌹 take god care and God bless ❤️

[@lisamcclintock8090]

I need to try this. Like you said, it sounds really interesting.

[@rhondagillespie6031]

Looks interesting, I would agree it will be good on ice cream

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

This would be a wonderful jelly for on top of cream cheese at a party. I will be ordering those lids. I've seen several people using them. So glad they work well. Thanks.

[@cindy_k]

Wow interesting, never heard of coffee jelly. Love my coffee, I would definitely make this if I could have sugar. God bless you and your family.

[@asweetnspicyginger2443]

You had me at coffee miss Vickie. ❤☕

[@Paula_T]

Hi Vickie. I became a Master Food Preserver back in the 80's. Living off grid then, I canned everything we produced, food wise, from mushrooms to tuna, and used hundreds of good old Ball canning lids with great success. I am planning on beginning to can again (we do have 3 freezers LOL), but have seen that now some folks have problems with lid quality these days. Looking forward to your tests of these lids and others as I'm a stickler for doing it right the first time. I still have my 47 year old Presto pressure canner, but will start more simple with a newer steam canner, adjusting for our 5400 ' elevation here in Reno. I canned, and I'm still alive!!

[@VickiesCountryHome]

Hello Paula, I would love to speak with you about your off grid experience, and your Master Food Preserver experience! I am at 5200’ elevation outside of Reno. Would you please email me at [e-mail]?

[@hermitnashville910]

I’m going to make this to have over biscuits with sweetened ricotta cheese. Kind of a tiramisu.

[@ohredbrd]

Hey I think you might be onto something there what a great idea!

[@yerneedsry]

I need to try this never heard of it. yes been buying different lids than ball lately.

[@ohredbrd]

Hi Miss Vicki. I have slowly bought everything that I need to can for the very first time! So basically I have never tried any lids yet. I am thinking that my first canning should be something simple like maybe a fruit jelly and I'll leave the more difficult coffee jelly to the experienced canners LOL. Very nice tutorial I was able to follow along very well. Thank you and God bless you. Shirley

[@lisarossnagel7815]

I haven't used For jars lids yet, but I have a box on standby for when I start canning this season. Everyone I see on KZbin seems to love them. 😊

[@ForgetU]

I would like to try the ForJars canning lids for myself. I would use the lids to pressure can and water bath can. Meat (venison and chicken), Fruit and veggies tomato salsa, fruit jams.

[@mountainviewsoapcompany5712]

Very interesting! No I haven’t used the new lids yet. My plan is to can strawberry jam, blueberry jam and pear sauce in the next couple of weeks

[@brendan7735]

love coffee, the jelly on a buttered biscuit would be delicious. Thank you for the opportunity to win these canning lids

[@sherrymn7249]

I am relatively new to canning but have a good size garden started this year so decide to get brave and try pressure or steam canning. Lots of people I follow and trust on KZbin have had good luck with these jars and now I can add you to that list. I am really excited to learn to can tomatoes. Thank you for the coffee jelly recipe, thinking it will make wonderful gifts for the coffee lovers I know.

[@barbpanigot6536]

I haven't used Forjars lids & rings, but I'm definitely intrigued. Since summer is coming on, I'd like to use them to can fresh green beans & other produce from the local farmers' markets. My salsa supply is low, so I need to can more of it. Looking forward to canning pickled beets as well.

[@hermitnashville910]

Sounds yummy. ❤

[@rosejarman6920]

This sounds like a cool recipe and I bet it would be great on ice cream. I have used Forjars since I saw Suttons Daze use them. I have had 100% seal rate on both WB and pressure canning. I will use them again and yes a certificate is always welcome!

[@forjars]

Glad to hear that you like our lids, Rose! Thank you for your feedback!☺

[@featheredfriendshomestead]

Looks absolutely delicious definitely will be trying this recipe. I have never used for jars lids but I'm thinking I will need to order some it's getting really hard to buy lids locally.

[@angelas_pantry_obsession]

Hi Miss Vickie, I absolutely love coffee!! Ill have to research how to use this besides with the breakfast dishes since Im the only one who really eats Jams or Jellies I will only make certain jams/jellies that can also be used in desserts or dinners. But I am interested in trying this. Reminds me of Wine jelly. I received it as a gift but wasn't sure how to use it lol (This was many years ago when I didnt know much about cooking).It didn't taste the best on toast. I ordered ForJars lids awhile ago in a large quantity to reserve as backup. Im so glad of all the positive reviews I have seen thus far. I look forward to your next video :)

[@daintrymanning3774]

Coffee jelly sounds awesome

[@vickijenkins1132]

New subscriber learning to can .

[@brens7094]

Coffee Jelly! Love coffee have to try this and see if we like it! I didn’t care for bacon jelly and I love bacon! Maybe because it was store bought! 😉. Have not tried 4-jar lids yet but I’ll try them, too! You never know until you try it! 💜🙏🏻💜

[@eileentenenbaum1613]

I have not used them but I would like to use them to can my tomatoes this year. Thanks for the coffee syrup.

[@dianaking9266]

Mrs Vicki I have had excellent success with Dollar General's Golden Harvest canning lids.

[@janettebutcher7742]

Thanks!

[@BostonBorn]

I always let my jars sit in the canner for 5 minutes with the lid on (after it’s come down from pressure) and another 10 minutes with the lid off, before I remove them from the canner. I started doing it when I realized my jars would siphon from the jar lifter grabbing them. Now, I almost never have siphoning. When I steam can, I remove the pressure canner lid immediately but, let the jars sit for ten minutes, the same as when I pressure can. I will say, when steam canning, I find that there’s way more wait time to find out if the jars have sealed…lol Incidentally, I’m thinking that would be good over vanilla ice cream or mixed into cake batter and buttercream frosting. I would even put a tablespoon or two in my taco meat (coffee is my secret ingredient). Yum 😋 I haven’t used ForJars lids, I haven’t gotten around to buying them yet. I don’t think there’s anything I wouldn’t use these lids for…lol

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Oh my can't wait to make Coffee Jelly 😍

[@judyblaise1639]

My daughter loves coffee everything. I would like to make this for her. I have used the Forjar lids once in pressure canning chicken for the first time. They all sealed and are still sealed. I’m looking forward to doing more canning in the next several months. The ForJars company is very helpful. I had no problems. I also like the way they package the lids.

[@forjars]

Thank you for your feedback, Judy! Your support means a lot to us!

[@lauracampbell7662]

Thanks for sharing. I've never tried the ForJars lids I've only been a Ball or Kerr person and hesitant to try the others before. Would be interested and willing to try some this canning season. I can green beans, chicken, beef, beets, make bnlueberry pie filling and applesauce to name a few things. Thanks

[@huntingrick5128]

Awesome

[@gma56]

Thanks for the opportunity! This sounds good for tiramisu?

[@audreyarbogast2943]

Different! but would try

[@debbiefoster9758]

I haven’t used Forjars lids but would be interested in trying them. I would like to do jams and jellies and canned tomatoes and peaches😁

[@janicetwitty8521]

For jar lids work great

[@jenmcqueen484]

The app for iphone is called 'Canning timer & checklist'. Put out by Oregon State University

[@tennesseegrands6620]

I have not used ForJar lids, but have wanted to try them. Just about every review I've read about them has been highly positive. Ball lids have been a disappointment as sometimes they don't seal. I would mainly use ForJar lids for canning meat, as well as other foods, too.

[@melyndasmith3304]

Hello, Ms. Vickie..this is an intriguing idea..hmmm....I wanta see how this turns out.

[@melyndasmith3304]

We're did you find this recipe ? I kinda wondered if it's a concoction. I often make things up, concoctions ...it takes things up a notch from boring and normal. I've been experimenting with the low sugar pectin , surejell and a 1/4 sugar , a cup of honey and a cup of splenda. Besides the fruit and lemon juice, I usually cook it down some as well. They have actually turned out , well , and even taste very good.😊

[@melyndasmith3304]

Kinda risky , but looks good ,friend.

[@The_Purringlady]

I’ve not used the ForJar lids yet. Only because I still have a large quantity of Kerr & Ball lids. That being said, I have had failures with some of my Ball lids.

[@dianacunningham2228]

I have used over 100 FORJARS lids with only three failures and I can credit those to operator error. For me, they have been a game changer and it's time to order a new supply. Also, I have the same steam canner and would like to know where you found the silicone mat. Balancing jars on the rack is a challenge. Thanks!

[@mollysmith6055]

Hi Vickie, your jelly sounds interesting. Maybe the jell will set harder in a few weeks, I have found it sometimes takes that long with jelly. I've been using ForJars since January and have been very pleased with them plus the fact that their family is working hard on their American dream.

[@jbrand255]

I have never used For Jars or even heard of them until your video. I mostly can meats because my apartment freezer is tiny and I wanted to be able to stock up when there were sales. Since then I have canned applesauce, a few veggies and chili. Ingredient canning is my preference but recently started to venture into canning chili and am looking at some other soups as well. Recently I was disappointed because 6 jars of ground beef canned with Tatler lids failed and spoiled on the shelf. Tatlers seem to hold perfect on the applesauce and beans but for foods without liquids I will switch back to traditional metal lids, at least for now.

[@libbyleatherwood6940]

Hi Ms. Vickie! I have ordered lots of these lids and I am so happy with them! The last time I bought the Ball lids, they were all damaged and I had to throw them away. I will only buy ForJars from now on! Thank you so much for the video❤️

[@forjars]

Hi Libby! We’re thankful that you chose us! Happy canning 😊

[@cdavid2486]

This looks amazing. TY! Appreciate your ideas and videos. What kind of steam canner do you have? I don't remember seeing it before. Excited to get some forjar lids and would use them for Jeni Goughs fennel onion soup perhaps...or this coffee jelly. Have so many ideas and so little storage! Wish we could more easily delete peoples comments from our minds!! Don't understand the mean spirit...🙄

[@bethbeckermeyer1732]

I’ve ordered forjar lids, I’m going to can beans and whatever.

[@katinamantz4558]

i wonder if you make your coffee with apple juice if it would set up better? and hmmm mocha coffee jelly, or cream and sugar coffee jelly.

[@evamurray9782]

Havent used them yet have alot of lids stillbut I like the success rate

[@heavenbound2713]

This sounds so good and unique! We love real Kona coffee, but only drink it on weekends because of the price. I think I will use some for this jelly recipe. I have the exact same steamer canner and I love mine too. Thanks for a great idea for a very different jelly!

[@sherryrogers695]

Thank you for the interesting recipe! Never heard about coffee jelly. Enlarged our garden this year and intend to pressure can for the first time - hopefully green beans soon. I have previous experience with water bath canning, but it’s been over a decade! I haven’t heard of this brand of canning lids but will certainly check them out.

[@leaholifield8052]

I have never tried this brand of lids, but would love to try them. I have always used Ball. Their quality has been less than great over the last few years, though. It is getting to be jelly season, again, and I am looking forward to getting after it, as my blueberries will be ripe soon.

[@barongugelsurch1145]

I have not used ForJars lids, and I would can pork loin and ground beef. Uncertain future means being prepared.

[@apiecemaker1163]

Everyone I have seen on KZbin using these lids has had great success. Very happy we have a new product to use in our canning and preserving. A big win for our homestead community.💙👩‍🌾

[@hammyk2372]

Ms. Vickie I love everything coffee but I have to ask, what would you use this coffee jelly for or with?

[@sheilaginger4242]

Thanks for sharing a brand of canning lids that I'd never heard of before! I've tried the reusable kind but am not a fan. I would use these for most anything I can, to include pressure canning meat. I bookmarked the site for a future purchase. By the way, I loved the silicone canning mat too, and luckily had no problem finding it on the internet!

[@2hornung]

Is this a recipe that has been safe tested?

[@giespel68]

Maybe use agar agar instead to make jelly

[@ottgram1872]

I wonder if it will set up more in the refrigerator?

[@VickiesCountryHome]

It did get thicker, but not completely jelled.

[@donabell5935]

I’ve never tried these lids before. I make jams. Usually peach, strawberry, plum and black cherry. The coffee jelly sounds good. Good luck to everyone!! 👍

[@pammohler3253]

I just love you as a sister in Christ Jesus.

[@steveobee3488]

Sounds odd and weird coffee jelly ? Can I be your tester I've been drinking coffee since I was 2 years old I'm 48 now I have some coffee blends I created over the years my jet fuel jp-4 and jp-7 and afterburner my top 3 blends tried to duplicate the coffee I had in the Air Force with my twist on it
