FIRST Canning Of The Season! - Le Parfait Canning Jars

[@valeriehamster6687]

Hello. I'm French and I've been following you for a while on KZbin. In France we only use "le parfait" jars with rubber or with capsules. This works very well for water sterilization. I bought a pressure canner presto from you in the US and the "le parfait" works very well too. You should put the rubber before filling the jars, it's easier Great to follow you.

[@heatherzest]

I was just coming here to tell her to put the seal on before attaching the lids to the jars! I just found this video to learn how to can with my Le Parfait collection and can't wait to give it a go!

[@jameswagner9894]

Can you use other French jars like Arc? How about the Italian ones like Fido or Firenza? Thanks.

[@LadysFarm]

We bought a farm and we brought all our mason jars about 30. Then the previous owner left me over 200 jars 🥰🥰🥰 all different kinds as well

[@juliewilliamsnewzealand818]

wow how lucky were you?!!!!!! :) xxx

[@Lyddiebits]

Awwww what a blessing 🥰

[@thevictorianedge5465]

Wonderful blessing!!!!!!!!

[@greenmouseguard]

I was checking through your videos, I had a question? Do you have any videos on canning rhubarb? Is there another way to store rhubarb, other than canning, maybe freezing? I don’t know it’s just such a short season with rhubarb and I love it. Thank you, the new lids sound exciting👍🏻 Linda from Ct 🙏🙏

[@babar86]

Sooooo lucky! We are driving around all over buying glass jars, but most people only have 5-10. A sweet old lady asked my husband «what are you going to do with them?!» and her eyes lit up when we explained we are going to live the old fashioned way, growing and storing our own food 🥰

[@WinkTartanBelle]

I found out the hard way that putting the gaskets on the jars BEFORE filling is the way to go. I like the le parfait jars, love my weck jars. The weck jars I tend to use more for canning while the le parfait jars are used for dry goods, or things like tomatoes or peppers in oil. Things you might want to access more than once but keep airtight are perfect candidates for le parfait jars. I've canned sardines, anchovies, and herring in oil or sauce in le parfait jars. Perfection!

[@n.s.7223]

Hi can you please share the recipe for canning sardines and anchovies?

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

What's to like better about the Weck jars? I guess they're easier to wash. Other advantages?

[@anetteolofsson4315]

I have pressurcanning with Ikeas jars, just like this with rubbergasket since 10 years. It works like a charm

[@a.7811]

I so appreciate you and your channel for so many reasons, but this right here is invaluable to me! A trusted reviewer keeping it real about their experiences with a product in real time...thank you!!

[@LadysFarm]

Totally agree this is the real deal here

[@evelyndole4618]

When my mom canned with those she had me hold the jar because one time she knocked a jar of pickled beets all over the kitchen trying to put that rubber seal on the jar! But they sure were pretty on her pantry shelf!

[@barnrazedbyjesse6893]

I love how brave you are Rachel, learning something new to you. We are all life long learners.

[@wild_free_homestead]

Put the seals on before you fill the jars.

[@grannyhebert2262]

My daddy called that leftover greens juice pot liquor. He'd crumble cornbread in it and eat it with a spoon.

[@LadysFarm]

🤔

[@dumbbunnie123]

Cornbread and pot liquor is a delicacy!

[@kflan3342]

Still do!

[@jamjar5716]

Yumm!

[@txspacemom765]

Need to sell that " Daddy's Pot Liquor" It would be a hit!

[@msspgj]

I just canned re-using my canning lids. I carefully opened my lid using a knife along the point of the can opener so as to not dent the lid. I then washed my canning lid.. and reused them. It worked!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I try not to tell too many people that I've reused jar lids. But it saved my bacon last year when there was a shortage

[@LadysFarm]

Good information

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

Reusing lids is more common than you know. I mark my lids that I've use with a dot with marker so I know I've used once already. Any lid not possible to reuse gets small x, those I use for storing dry foods.

[@justpatty7328]

Canning in countries other than the US, many reuse any jar and lid. It comes down to having food preserved or not.

[@mollyl8704]

@@ljtminihomestead5839 it is definitely more common that one would think but those loud canners who yell about FDA regulations are louder than us. You learn realy quickly not to tell the wrong person you reuse lid though

[@lorishealinghomestead5047]

What a wonderful feeling!!! Those are beautiful jars!!!

[@ArmindaHeart]

When you almost dropped the jar, my stomach dropped 😆

[@LadysFarm]

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

[@LadysFarm]

😂🤣 never a dull moments on the farm inside or outside haha

[@irenavuorinen2304]

I always disconnect the lids and put the rubber on them when the lay flat on counter. Then I hock them back when the jars are ready to be closed. It's much less hustle that way. 😉

[@phoenixxfinancial]

I've never seen anyone can in those jars.. That's amazing considering how many channels do canning videos.. I have a few of these jars and a few weck.. I haven't canned anything yet but I'm about to start my journey soon .. This is premium YT content!

[@kathygomez99]

Great tutorial for anyone that’s considering these jar! I have some of these and Weck and while they are pretty on the pantry shelf and quite impressive to bring them out for company , truthfully I prefer canning with wide mouth regular canning jars! Another great video Rachel! 👏👏👏

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Rachel. The greens look awesome in those jars. Glad they did not leak or loss their liquor. Thank you for sharing. I love greens. God Bless you and Todd, who I did not see in this video. Take care. Maria. 💁🖐️💁🖐️💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💗💗💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍

[@mawpatti]

OMG OMG!!! when you dropped that last jar when cleaning them after processing...I gasped and jumped....my heart is still pounding!!!! LOL LOL LOL

[@druemiller3111]

Rachel! I can almost smell the deliciousness you are packing in the jars! Thanks for sharing.

[@dumbbunnie123]

The pot liquor is so good, I'm glad you saved it! There's so much flavor and nutrition in it!

[@gipsymamapreper8096]

I remember my grandmother using jars similar to these back in the early sixies

[@LadysFarm]

Those were the legit jars. I was given some old old jars. And a bunch of new ones. 🥰🥰🥰 So blessed

[@mordenridgefarm2978]

I have been canning in these jars for years. You just have to get used to putting on the gaskets it isn’t so bad (I usually put my gaskets on before filling and close the bail as soon as the jar is filled. Couple of things to keep in mind: never remove the bail from the jar or lid, you can warp the bail and caused your seals to fail; and think of your jar as a set, you cannot repurpose the lids jars or bails to replace broken parts of other jar sets. I reuse my gaskets , I just check them really carefully for damage before canning. These are durable jars, if taken care of properly they will last a life time.

[@stricknitt0184]

Yes, of course you can remove the bail without damaging anything. It's just inconvenient, that's why these bail jars a not realy used for canning. Weck jars (or in the past other brands with the same typ of glases) are the better option. Especialy the IKEA bail glases are not the highest quality since the bail part is in general quite warped.

[@dawnrick6088]

Well that certainly almost made me or made me jump like you did they’re kind of tricky huh those jars of all nice thanks for sharing

[@LadysFarm]

🤣 yup

[@jackienoel2864]

100% you got it!! They are beautiful! I love the dark wood in your house, it’s so pretty!

[@evieponchot4336]

Oh my goodness, thank you, thank you for this video! I got a case of these from my gma (who passed away in February) and everyone told me I couldn’t can in these on a caning site I’m on. I knew you had to be able to since my gma bought the whole family blackberry jam every year in these jars! I’m so excited to can apple butter tomorrow in them. Happy canning!!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Oh that looks so delicious! Wish I had some greens and cornbread right now! Thanks for showing us the jars, a good alternative for the shortage times!

[@JustLiving2018]

Great job explaining how the new jars work. My grandmother used those back in the day.

[@kateburk2168]

I grew up seeing the procedure of canning so it's not a foreign concept to me & more recently I was among folk where even the guys were involved. Took my aunt to local hairdresser who went down into the valley & made use of the community kitchen set up for canning at no charge! Bring own produce & get to work!

[@PrincessStatus29]

I always put the gasket on the lid THEN put the metal parts on so I don't spill the stuff in the jar and use your thumbs to push the gasket around the lip that helps too

[@rachelschmaltz3092]

The new jars are so beautiful. My aunt has been looking into new jars. I forwarded your video to her. God bless

[@brat46]

I want to start adding these to my canning jars. Especially with the lid shortage.

[@janhatchett7834]

I have never heard of adding brown sugar to greens. Guess we truly do learn something new every day!

[@pauladixon4147]

Just done 20 pints of this today. Praying we like it. Thank you for a new canning recipe.

[@UrbanHomesteadMomma]

This season I’ve switched about half my canning over to harvest guard lids (tattler aren’t available in Canada, but these are the same)… I’m really liking them but found there is a bit of a learning curve. The reusable aspect makes me really happy… I was one of those “rebels” who reused my flats anyway… but this is much better and more reliable.

[@juliecox647]

You can get them in Canada! I was gifted several dozen for Mother’s Day. They are just purchased through a supplier rather then straight from the company. Here is the link that we purchased them from! good2goco.ca/products/wide-reusable-canning-lids-with-rings-3-dozen?gclid=CjwKCAjww-CGBhALEiwAQzWxOgHg89Ka75kgXFdXp3ZUy-8t-P1OOS1x6lhI1SMX7MrjaUifeloK8RoCYSkQAvD_BwE

[@mehtarelingolien]

I have used the "pot liquor" from greens to make split pea soup. DELICIOUS!

[@a-cp6od]

Wow, great to know they work so well, thanks for your video. Happy Canning 😊

[@mariannedemers8511]

Thanks for posting because l had no idea that you could can in them.😊

[@sandyclaus2729]

Oh those jars are simply gorgeous 😍

[@MouseToes]

I always look forward to your videos and really appreciate you sharing your views on these jars. The product is very beautiful inside of them and I like they have a " max fill" line as well. I like that you saved the broth left over and in the South we call that the " pot liquor"; and really look forward to dipping our corn bread in that! Thanks so much for sharing all you do.

[@brendahone2509]

Thank you for showing us the new jars.

[@lmd2454]

Those are so neat! Pricey, but I can see value in them for sure! I wonder if it would be easier to put the rubber on before you fill them? I'm so happy you're doing canning videos again!!! I've really missed them!

[@tonoaherrebrugh8731]

Thank you for doing this with Le Parfeit jars. Being I live in Europe I use Weck and 3 different types of these Le Parfeit jars. I have some Ball jars and lids but they are my lesser choice. Put your gaskets on before filling them to make it easier. Also, if you get a chance, buy a Weck funnel, they work much better with these Le Parfeit jars. Thank you again and enjoy!

[@stephiefultz]

Thanks for sharing.. I also have found hardly no videos on the Le Parfait .. I really appreciate it. As soon as my greens are ready I’m canning. Keep up the videos we appreciate them.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I think it’s Le Parfait. That might help you find it easier.

[@mykentuckyhome9442]

Wow. Thanks for sharing this video, as I learned right along with you.

[@lispottable]

Weck jars are also a great alternative!

[@zormier2002]

I love those jars

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

Always wanted to know how to use these types of jars. Thank you!

[@petlover071]

I just got a camp chef outdoor stove for my birthday! I am so happy! Thank you for showing it in your videos and the information that a high BTU rating is needed for pressure canning.. I no longer need to sweat it out in the kitchen and heat the house up... It was horrible last year!

[@1870s]

That is awesome! You'll love it. Just be careful with aluminum pots. It gets so hot, some people have warped them.

[@sherrycallaway]

Thank you for sharing this process

[@marabergman2304]

I've been waiting for this video! Lol I'm so glad they work well. I've been thinking about investing in these or Wecks. Thanks for the info!

[@patriciakoester1580]

Very enjoyable video thanks ♥️♥️

[@denisebrady6858]

Great video Rachel as I didn't know you could use those jars for canning. Still working but couldn't miss your video :):). Cheers Denise- Australia

[@jchai1343]

That was fun and interesting !!

I do not can but am an avid gardener. I grow what I can eat in a season. Nonetheless I love your sharing of experience and the transparency of your experimentation. Failure is just only an implement in your tool belt. -an avid follower from Virginia zone 7a

[@jasminenash9142]

Very cool! Congrats on the 100% seals! I remember when you bought those jars and was curious as to how those would turn out :)

[@theheritagehousesc]

Great work Rachel! You can always tell by the tongue. If it’s turned down it is sealed. I have tons of them but I only store items in them. I was never brave enough to can in them but I may try next time. My mother use to water bath in them when I was young. Enjoy your day

[@eleonoramercogliano4381]

Hi Rachel, if you put the rubber rings on before you fill the jars, makes much easier 😀

[@sheilajames.414]

I live in France so here are some jar information..... you can put the rubber rings on before filling..place bottom of ring on lid then hold with both thumbs and work up lid pressing your nails around edge of groove and ring..that way it fits better on lid...next ..you can leave the lever closed on jar after processing in fact it is better because the seal is rubber, where as on jars with metal lids not advisable. Next..the rubber rings can be used several times just look everytime of using.. rubber not perished.. still tight on lid not slack..keep in plastic bag when not using.... the French don't pressure can, they do a very long water bath can be as long as 4 hours this is pates and other meats,which is consumed in a year or so. All healthy.. I got my pressure canner from the US and I am going to try potatoes...So hope it helps you on the jars... they really are worth the money for canning..Thanks for the video..

[@1870s]

Thank you Sheila! ♥

[@glendaking9671]

Thanks so much Sheila. As I am a beginner and not sure which jars are best x

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

It's curious to me that Europeans water bath can things like meat. My understanding as an American is that botulism isn't killed by boiling temperatures for practically any amount of time. I wonder if botulism (Clostridium botulinum sp?) just isn't present in the soil, etc. in Europe like it is in the US.

[@kygal2873]

Love the jars ❤

[@leesmith5419]

Thanks for the video it was it was very informative good to know there are other options out there

[@GardeningintheNorth]

Great video. I have never seen these used for canning before! I’m on the hunt for even more info on this! Thanks!

[@sevikurtbas5916]

As im in uk and we use a lot of the leparfait jars. My favourite is the weck jars. They are similar but with clips to hold them.down and you can use the gasket for a long time..Next time try weck jars

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

What do you like better about the Weck jars?

[@joannecomanic5940]

Thanks so much for sharing!! I needed to know this! Im Joanne from Canada ❤

[@missbirdsmiles5387]

This is the kind of jar that’s more common in the uk, I’ve always used them for dry storage but I’ll start canning with them now I know they seal ok.

[@deborahadney4784]

It is good to use food grade oil instead of petroleum, it tends to degrade the rubber more quickly. Probly don't want that in your food👍🏻🤗

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I was just having a conversation about these jars with someone last night. I’m glad to see that you had success with them. I’ve been slowly building my weck supply. I might get a couple of these and see what I think.

[@jackiehorsley9263]

Looks good I will have to try that recipe

[@evelyndole4618]

I have got to make the southern greens!

[@lispottable]

Rose Red Homestead does a lot of canning videos with Weck jars also!

[@donnavaughn8813]

Thanks you my friend see you soon 😁

[@debramacpherson3017]

I love Zully’s ❤️

[@meganross]

That broth would make a delicious ham and bean soup with cornbread!

[@robincook4349]

They sure are pretty jars

[@marygayquigley9672]

I'm not canning yet. Just trying to stay cool in our hazardous heat wave. Here in western Washington it reached 108 degrees yesterday and 110 degrees today. Aaaaahhhhhh 😰😰😖😖😖 It's never ever been this hot, especially in June.

[@Lyddiebits]

@MaryGay 💜 from NW Oregon! The heat has been horrendous the past few days...today tho⛅, my brotherin Keizer had a drizzle💧, we have a beautiful overcast morning currently at 66, high of 79 at 4pm. Sun's gonna come out in the afternoon. I hope y'all are also cooling down up there.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

How neat is that! Now can you re-use these seals from the Le Parfait Jars? Those greens look amazing Rachel, one of my favorite dishes and yes....very greasy. I boil my ham hocks a few minutes before adding them to my pot. Love this, so glad these worked out well. Another way to can and super cute jars.

[@heatherzest]

To answer your question, YES! You can reuse the rubber seals! Also, I buy my seals from IKEA.

[@wildflower5284]

Love this!

[@roachelleplayle8216]

It may be easier to put your seals on before filling .😊. Love watching your videos.

[@rachelstark2391]

Greetings, Suggestion: tongs, instead of the spoon to fill the jars? Cheers, Rachel 🍷

[@IMOO1896]

Or a spoon that fits😃

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Cool that you used this type of jar! I have thought about it, but never bought any for canning, just for dry storage. (The clamp type jars are the only thing that will keep out pantry moths.) I have some antique jars that I use for canning. I have wondered about them sometimes having a little rougher glass on the rim. I read somewhere that was because the rubber gasket sealed under the zinc lid on the bottom of the threads, not on the rim. I thought that was interesting. It’s pronounced more like luh parfay, not lay parfay. Thanks!

[@MichaelSmith-jc8bq]

I LOVE both Le Parfait and Weck jars canned goods look so much prettier in them I have better and long success with them than Ball and Kerr so glad you made this video now I know I can pressure can with them

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

I've actually had the opposite experience: I've had significantly more jar failures with Le Parfait jars than with standard American style canning jars, but I like the Le Parfait jars for a lot of other reasons, especially not having anything in contact with my food other than glass and the gasket.

[@chrisward4224]

If your going to freeze broth in canning jars, be sure to use wide mouth. They are less likely to crack when the broth expands into the "shoulder" of the jar.

[@anniekochera]

Thank you for this. You did an excellent job. With metric slightly larger then US standard for volume, you do process your Liter and 1/2 Liter at the same times as Quart and Pint jars?

[@Thelittlepantry]

You need to take the lid off , put the band on ... pinch te irons together and attach your lid to your jar . Greetings from Belgium

[@MatthewSherriff85]

Thanks so much for this video, i am going to get some of these jars, and also getting new lids for store bought jars as there is a place online that sells them here in Australia

[@juliewilliamsnewzealand818]

Hullo from NZ Matthew, do you have a link to that online shop please?

[@catracampolieto8989]

Are you going to share a video where your enjoying your southern greens? So glad your canning jars worked for you.

[@1870s]

Just ate some tonight as a side dish with my smoked chicken 😋

[@catracampolieto8989]

Smoked chicken....Rachael....your killing me. That sounds SOOOOO good.

[@liancabastian6732]

I absolutely love your mustard yellow towels! Where can I find those?? Great video.

[@FlavorsandTextures]

Nice!

[@sallychail4208]

I always look forward to your videos. I'm so glad the new jars worked out. Do you have any recipes or videos of these greens without pork or beef by chance? Thank you :)

[@willow8094]

I bet this is delicious !

[@Gardentogriddle]

Thank you,!!!

[@stricknitt0184]

If you like these European jars think about Weck Jars. They are easier to handle than these. For storing dry goods I like these with just one bracket better than Weck jars which have two brackets. Both types of European jars have thicker glas so they last longer than Mason Jars. That's also to consider when thinking about future investments. My Weck jars are at least 60 years old. I only by the rubber band new on a regular basis.

[@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558]

What do you do if you open the jar but don't use all the contents right away and want to store the rest in the fridge temporarily? You don't put those clips back on, do you?

[@ghostpipe888]

Def needs to be more info out there and normalized using glass lids and rubber seals. I love my gem jars.

[@hollyu48]

How many times can you reuse the gasket? I think they might be a better than harvest guard

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Yes, they are much thicker.

[@MagdaRantanplan]

as far as i know you can use them as long as they dont get damaged (cuts in the rubber) and dont get to large. Some of the rubber gaskets get looser over time and at some point just dont work very well anymore. I think it is even recommended from the producers of such jars to use only gaskets that fit very tightly around the lid. They might get discolorations from foods with strong coloring powers. It wont damage them, just wash well and maybe boil in vinegar water. After not using them for canning you can still use them for storing dry goods (not canned), use as rubber bands or give to the kids to make slingshots with.

[@debbiegilliam1725]

I was routing for 100%

[@XOjmmXO]

Already have arthritis in my wrists so these jars will be a no for me but looks interesting!

[@janelindsey283]

You need to use a wood or plastic spoon to use for packing in jars, to avoid chipping or scratching.

[@juliewilliamsnewzealand818]

Firstly : OMG i nearly leapt out of my chair when you tried to open that last jar!!! My poor heart leapt into my mouth lol Secondly : I know you say the greens are tasty but that is visually really unattractive to me (we dont 'do' greens in NZ). However, I think I must at least give it a go. Might be okaywith gravy over it so i cant see it !! ;) Thirdly : It already looks mushy, after another 75 minutes of pressure canning, is there any 'substance' left to it? Or does it just fall apart as though it has been mashed? Fourthly : thankyou for your videos, they always make me smile at least once during them and often alot more than that :) xxx

[@LadysFarm]

🤣🤣🤣 same

[@MagdaRantanplan]

My grandma made similar greens and i remember them not beeing mushy at all. Yes it looks not very good, smells even worse if you dont like the smell of boiling cabbage. But it tastes amazing (depending on the seasoning you use and like)

[@luckychicav7981]

Ham hock is the answer to the taste. If you like pork that is what makes these delicious.

[@Jeni30ful]

The greens that she used are tougher greens so they generally hold up well from cooking and the canning process. So, typically they are not mushy.

[@slhemp3556]

Your comments had me cracking up. The compliment to Rachel was so nice. The description of how you see greens and your amazement that greens are delectable is hilarious 😂. Do you eat kale? What about Swiss chard? I absolutely love greens, they are so tasty. My elders referred to the liquid/broth as pot-liquor (never broth), so your take on them made me 😂.

[@freesia7632]

Thanks for your video! I have never canned but have kilner jars, will give it a go! I guess I can water bath in a pot of hot water for a couple hours to seal (no pressure canner). Quick question: how easy is it to open the jars once sealed I.e. do you use a knife underneath or any tips on how to open? It might be easy or there might be a knack…?

[@tanyasweetheart529]

Hey Rachel Was so excited to see your first canning video of the season . Was gonna ask do you think you’ll have enough Jars for the season ? And also maybe add the rubber before adding the goods so you don’t get splashed 😉

[@danielleterry180]

Hi where did you get the cover for your above ground garden bed to keep bugs and birds off your garden? Thanks for this vid Love the jars will be ordering some still trying to get my 3000 jars lol yep totally trying to go self sufficient in my food preps

[@Smallpotato1965]

tip: put on the rubber ring *before* filling the jar, lol!! :-)
