Good video thank you for posting.

[@dgarnett4220]

Nice thanks!

[@michellenorris211]

That was so helpful to a beginner canner. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@jaimielistens]

You are welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful. 😁

[@SamanthaTwist]

Agreed!

[@smileynumber13]

Thanks so much! I was just looking at getting into this recently, since I have been making some small batches, and today was thinking I might have to get a canner... no idea I can't even use them on my stove! Likely saved me a ton of headaches! And as it turns out, I have the same big stainless pot as you, so this was even more helpful. Thanks again!

[@jaimielistens]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[@HosannaSookra]

I can't believe I'm about to turn 35 this month and I only now learned of this method of preserving my fruits and veggies. Thanks a million!!!

[@jaimielistens]

@@HosannaSookra You're welcome!

[@christyhill1885]

Thank you, thank you! I’ve never made jelly and this was so helpful because I don’t have a canner and don’t want to have to invest in one. I was wondering if I could use my 14qt stock pot instead and you confirmed that I could and explained it thoroughly.

[@jaimielistens]

You're welcome! 😁

[@mentalalchemysubliminals]

This was the most helpful beginner video! You explain and teach so well! Pls make more videos 😊❤

[@jaimielistens]

I'm so glad it was helpful and I really appreciate your kind words! 🥰

[@dgarnett4220]

You’re an amazing help to me. I have 16 cups nan king cherries in freezer, and problably same amount on next ripe bush. Learning now for doing this winter, or when time. Mmm I can’t wait. Thank you dearly. Don’t need another pot. I’ll boil for 10-15 minutes I think when full 1 inch from top. ❤❤❤ love it

[@jaimielistens]

@@dgarnett4220 Hey, that's great! Yes, save slaving over a hot stove for winter! 😁

[@ChristineSorrento]

I'm canning for the first time. Do these methods work for vegetables, stews, etc?

[@jaimielistens]

@@ChristineSorrento No, vegetables stews and meats need to be pressure canned. For that you will need a pressure canner. If it's your first time canning, I recommend reading a canning book to understand the underlying food safety and procedures.

[@ChristineSorrento]

@@jaimielistens thank you

[@1broncochick]

This will help me a lot. The canning pot is too heavy for me after 4 shoulder surgeries.

[@jaimielistens]

@@1broncochick Oh wow! That's no fun. I'm glad to help!

[@melissanadlman5357]

I’m new to canning. Is this video simply to sterilize jars before putting jam in or is this video about boiling AFTER jelly is in the jars?

[@jaimielistens]

You can sterilize your jars in the pot, and you can water bath can in any pot that you can fit your jars in, as long as there's room for 1-2 inches of water to cover them while canning. So, yes, you can use the pot to boil the jars after you fill them with jelly.

[@crystaleshimmel5644]

Does it have to be stainless steel on the exterior of the pot? Mine has a coating on the exterior

[@emilydelgado6570]

I’d also like to know this!

[@hopeburbo4372]

thanks for the info, Im new to this and came accross your video, you talked about the replacement of your stove, what about getting a Noodle Board?

[@jaimielistens]

You're welcome! That noodle board is a good idea, although I can see my husband figuring out a way to drop that on it too! 😂

[@hopeburbo4372]

that's just too funny, maybe don't allow hubby near your stove. hehehehe

[@jaimielistens]

@@hopeburbo4372 Yes!!! Or in the kitchen... haha! Oh boy, I've got so many stories.

[@ashleywilkerson9635]

True story!! I broke my glass top water bath canning yesterday!! I wish I had seen this video before I started canning. 😪

[@tradcathpat6807]

Great information!!! I don't have room for a canner but I do have a question....does the pot HAVE to be stainless? I have a 6 qt. pot but it's non stick. I don't think it has a coating. I think it has Quantanium nonstick cooking surface is reinforced with titanium. Thank you!!

[@jaimielistens]

No, it definitely does not have to be stainless. Any appropriate sized pot should work!

[@tradcathpat6807]

@@jaimielistens Thank you so much! I appreciate that you reply to questions......so many KZbinrs don't.

[@blessedlifechannel]

does it have to be stainless steel or could I use whatever stockpot I have?

[@jaimielistens]

@@blessedlifechannel No, it doesn't have to be stainless steel. Any big pot will work.

[@florawillis1384]

I have seen videos From other countries, they Use a kitchen towel folded in the bottom of a canner.

[@jaimielistens]

That is interesting! An inexpensive option worth trying.

[@nanastrippin2006]

Can I use this method to can applesauce?

[@jaimielistens]

Any high acid food that is safe to water bath can will work, including applesauce.

[@nanastrippin2006]

@@jaimielistens cool ty

[@momepenni]

I liked it. I usually do open kettle, not bath. My questions now is on time???????

[@jaimielistens]

I always recommend following the latest health authority guidelines and approved canning recipes, like the latest Ball Blue Book. The time varies by recipe, but for jams and preserves in half-pint jars most recipes are 10-15 minutes plus adjusting for your particular elevation.

[@momepenni]

@@jaimielistens Thank you

[@JenniferBarley-k7t]

Sorry, but am I missing the actually procedure for sealing them? How is it that you seal them without the water bath? I am only seeing the procedure for sterilizing and preparing the jars

[@jaimielistens]

They do get a water bath to seal them. It's the same process as usual, it's just the instructions for making sure your jars fit a smaller pot with the required 1" water above the jars without having water overflow everywhere.

[@SamanthaTwist]

THANK YIU!

[@peepla7]

I am canning 3 jars at a time so this video really helps. I don't make a lot.

[@jaimielistens]

@@peepla7 I'm glad it was helpful! 😁

[@peepla7]

@@jaimielistens I make it in my bread maker....it doesn't hold more than like 4 cups....after cooking it only fills 3 or 4 jars. And just pouring in jars and sticking in the fridge doesn't last long...so I needed to learn how to process it...and everything was too large. So your video did instead help.

[@marilyngriffiths6866]

Why do you water bath jam? Never done that and never had a problem.

[@jaimielistens]

Because it's what's recommended by the USDA in their "Complete Guide to Home Canning". That's why I choose to do it that way.

[@michaelpardue2400]

I use my Electric Water Bath Canner

[@bornofJesusblood]

Found my canner at flea market for nothing

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

If you have a grill with a burner on the side, you can use that.

[@SamanthaTwist]

LUCKY!

[@amyk6453]

I came here just to learn how to can without water bathing. It didn't say anything about the prep before even starting to make jam but that's all this video was about. Not saying it's not good information but the title is very misleading.

[@jaimielistens]

The title isn't misleading if you are showing people how to water bath can when they don't have access to a water bath canner. The first part of the title specifically states "How to Water Bath Can" it doesn't say canning without water bathing. I'm sorry you misunderstood the title.

[@amyrichardson2549]

We have never water bath bathed our rhubarb jam

[@jaimielistens]

Rhubarb is so good! My grandma alway had a patch and we looked forward to her rhubarb crunch with vanilla ice cream. Wonderful memories!

[@bornofJesusblood]

Shoot, heat my kitchen up, runs up utility bill cooling it off, tales forever to can, etc.etc....

[@j7ndominica051]

Why does a dedicated water bath canner even exist if it appears to be a stock pot with an incompatible bottom? For jam you don't even need to use a water bath. Fill hot (maintain heat under the jam) one jar at a time, close with clean lids tightly and leave to cool. Sterilize the funnel. Do not clean the rims with a cloth, but rely on the liquids funnel to keep them clean. In Europe nobody used to bring jam to a boil again inside jars. They may do it now because of new school videos. I experienced the fruit mass boiling over and making a mess, which also cemented the TO lid in storage. The jars rattle from steam bubbles under them. Bringing a pot of water to a boil and even boiling vigorously as opposed to maintaining 100° uses too much gas. The process can be optimized to save time and money. Where the water bath comes into play is if you have some vegetables that are packed cold and only covered with a hot marinade.

[@jaimielistens]

@@j7ndominica051 It's FDA recommended in the US, even though there are other ways to get the job done. I guess it's an extra safety precaution because they care so much about us. Personally, I prefer my grandma's no-cook freezer jam recipe.

[@Forgot_My_Name]

A squatty jar of jam... Sounds appealing
