Hi Tessie!! So glad to see you canning your grape jelly!! I put up Dewberry Jelly using parafin when I was first married years ago. It was so good!!😊 I love to eat the foam when jelly making! My Daddy and I always made toast or biscuits with the foam jelly after all the juice was made up!! Special Memories❤❤ Thank you for sharing!!😊😊

[@sallygordin2869]

I remember when I was a young girl my grandmother made grape jelly that way. Then she let me lick the wax rings when she'd unseal them and I would always like to take a bite of the wax and chew it good memories

[@CB-pf7go]

This was exactly the way my Grandma made grape jelly 😊

[@ValerieinSC]

Great memories of my Grandma. She always put a lace cap over the paraffin. Valerie in SC

I was just thing I loved getting the foam when Granny opened a new jar of jelly when you said that. My Granny always put up her pear preserves in her old Cremora coffee creamer bottles. Most people would scream if they saw someone do that now but she raised 10 kids and fed lots of grandkids and no one ever got sick from her food.

Tessie, I made blackberry jelly for the first time this year. My friend who is 65 taught me. Her mother taught her to put about a teaspoon or so of butter in your jelly while it's cooking and it won't froth. It really works. 💜

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Many years ago my mom would can jam with wax. Quite often the the seal would break and we would have to remove the mold. Of course today I would not even think of keeping it, it would just be scraped into the garbage. You brought back some good old memories. Thanks.

[@annabrown4952]

My mom use to save all store jelly jars so she could make some homemade jellies my dad ate jelly bread every meal he liked his jelly💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@sarramiller976]

I grew up helping my mom make jams and jellies this way. The foam was THE best! 😃

[@anetzband1383]

Tessie, this brought back lots of memories. I made jam this way from growing up until well into my married life. We were overseas for many years and periodically when we came home I would hear about "rules changing." When we came home to stay in the mid 90's it was a lot of new rules and I followed them. This still looks safe to me, especially with all the detailed warnings you gave. However, I well remember how we always needed to check carefully to see if the wax had been breached, if there was mold, or so many other things. Yes, there were times when we scraped the layer of mold off and ate it anyway. I think the biggest thing that changed, though, was when we started adding less and less sugar. Nowadays I watch my sugar consumption very carefully, so not much jam gets consumed. Those were the days.

[@Mindy56743]

It was a jelly recipe video that you posted that started me on canning. When I was a kid eating the foam was my favorite and this year as a adult that made my own jelly I still like eating the foam! I received some wild plums and made some jelly out of it this year and covered it with the wax

Grape Jelly was the first thing my Mom taught me to make and can at 12 years old and we covered the top with paraffin. From 14 years old I made all the jams and jellies at our house because Mom was so busy with the big garden and farm chores. I still love making Jelly but do not have the grape arbor we had then as I was growing up. Tessie you are wonderful at explaining every detail and showing exactly how to can safely and successfully.

[@kesmarn]

Isn't it amazing how kids were trusted with tasks like that years ago, Beth? It must have felt so good to know how much you contributed to the family when you were put in charge of the jam/jelly making at age 14. These days, when people have to go away it's not unusual for them to find a babysitter for a 14 year old who needed to stay home! A few decades ago that would have been considered incredible -- at 14 many girls were very capable when it came to child care and housekeeping. They would have *been* the babysitter, rather than needing one! Times have changed.

Haha! I also always feel like I need a huge “this ain’t USDA approved but we’re doing it anyway” banner every time I make a canning video.

Thanks for the video!

Hi Tessie, thanks for the video. I remember seen a box just like you showed at my Gramma's house. I knew she canned apricot jelly from the apricots grown on the trees in the backyard (I miss her apricot jelly, store-bought just isn't that same). But never knew how she did or what the process was to do things like that. Thankfully some of the old ways were passed down from your grandparents to parents to you, wish I could say the same.

[@tammym110]

Boy does this bring back a lot of memories for me! My grandma used wax when she made jelly and jam. Back then there were no plastic jars for jelly, Mayo or peanut butter etc. it was all glass. Grandma reused all glass jars and their lids for jelly. We loved the wax pouring part. She washed off the wax plugs well when we opened the jar and she reused them. Sometimes for jelly and sometimes for emergency candles. I’m not so sure I would trust those flimsy plastic films for storage you had though. This may be a good use for those used canning lids in excellent condition that I would not reuse for any other type of canning. Great video Tessie. Thanks for the memories.

[@maryanndouglass3198]

Ah, so many memories here! I remember being fascinated with the wax sealing the jellies and the pretty little jars.

A tablespoon of butter stirred in will get rid of most of the foam in the pot! I still use paraffin wax with some jars that I keep and reuse. (Lids are really hard to get right now too, so it is good to save the new lids for other canning.) edit to add that I melt my wax in a bent (squeezed to form a spout) up can in a pot of water

Your grape jelly looks delicious Tessie. A little tip about the cellaphone jam covers - if you pour a little cooled boiled water in a saucer and gently lay the cover on top you then smooth the wet side down over your jars and put rubber band on. You will find it easier and the cover is sealed tight when dry with no wrinkles.🐾🥰

Growing up in country Australia our town did not even have a supermarket they had not been invented mum did all her jams this way this is the ist comment l have ever made to any u tube channel .but l did want to help you with this method so you can pass it on .this is for the transparent covers you used on the jars Use clean cloth and moisten 1 side of cover with vinegar or water place the cover Westside up on your jar while it is still hot secure with rubber band the cover will become taut as it cools try it you will love the result keep up you great work.cheers Lynette

Hey Tessie, when I was young I used parafin, but now since many many years instead of using parafin, you can also put your jams or jelly in the jars, put the lids on (not plastic lids) and turn your jar upside down. Lets cool down and it will seal. Only for jams with sugar !! Maybe you can give it a try. Greetings from Belgium :)

And I do remember those grapes when you and your husband were picking them I do have a question though? If I make elderberry juice I have dried elderberries can I do the same thing with the juice and just add the sugar and pectin which I’ve never tried the liquid pectin I only have the powdered pectin. I get it if you can’t answer the question because I’m sure people asking tons of questions every day but I was just wondering thank you honey have a great night
