Doing my canning tomorrow! Very nice video, just a little tip, if you put 1/2 tsp of butter or margarine in your jam when boiling it drastically reduces the amount of foaming.

Plants On Purpose fantastic idea 😍

[@katzkatcher]

Great tip about the dish towel in the bottom of a pot to can with . This will open doors for more canners .I remember mom doing that a few times .I also remember her sealing her tomato jam with melted parifin once. It did the job of sealing . How ever little shards of wax would get into the jam as well.So that was the end of that .

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

Thank you for sharing your recipe and your Victorio canner. Your technique does seem easy. When I find myself lifting my jars of jam out of their water bath and hearing that sealing ✨POP✨ , I will feel SO happy that I've finally arrived! I've heard that if a jar does not pop, it's ok but needs to be used right away rather than being stored. For someone who wants to can for life, investing in a water bath canner is worth it! Such a professional feeling too. Been wanting to get started for years but am always concerned about the cane sugar content. I'd like to use a sugar substitute, or at least half and half. I also heard that you can't make jellies without using real sugar. 🙁

Great video! 👍 what do you mean by removing the rings? Thank you

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Jars should be stored without the rings attached.

[@e.m.8453]

Great video! Question for you though... why don't you want to store the canned goods with the rings on them?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Erin Martin hi! Great question... leaving your rings on can cause a false seal. If you didn’t get a proper seal or if spoilage would occur for some reason bacteria growth will break the seal. If you have the rings attached this might not be detected. Rings are not needed to hold the lid in place after the canning process. Here is a great article on the subject www.healthycanning.com/store-your-home-canned-food-without-the-canning-rings/#why-should-you-removing-the-canning-rings-after-the-jars-are-sealed.

I’d be happy to send you step by step instructions, not the same as a video I know... A couple of tips, wide mouth jars are easier to pack. Using a light syrup really lets the peach flavor shine through. Pack your peaches as tightly as possible. Fruit tends to float (I’ve tried every recommendation and mine still floats). Smaller peaches float less than larger ones. If I can help in any way don’t hesitate to ask. Best wishes for a great peach canning session and I’m sorry I don’t have a video yet. 💕Carol

Meanwhile, I have three quick questions: Can you use this recipe to make 8 of the “baby jars” instead of four jelly jars? I assume yes but didn’t know whether the jar size mattered. Can you use Sure-Jell Low/No Sugar Pectin? (I made a last-minute trip to buy the Ball Low-Sugar Pectin you use in the recipe, since I wasn’t sure they were interchangeable.) Some of my jars “pinged” before I even got them into the water bath. Is that normal? I still processed them for 10 minutes, since the boil time is what sterilizes them.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes to “baby jars” same processing time. Yes to Sure Jel pectin. And you should always process to make it shelf stable 😊

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 , thank you for your reply! What does it mean to process to make it shelf-stable?

I went ahead and pulled it out and put it in the fridge, since I didn't know if that was an issue. Could/should I just have kept that one in the canner after standing it upright and let it process with the others?

I don't know if you can help me. I am desperately seeking a recipe for canning hot pepper sauce. No tomatoes, just peppers (hot and mild) blended up with vinegar to make a hot sauce. Why would a recipe like that be so hard to find? Wouldn't that be perfectly safe for canning? :(

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

anonymous me I started checking and I can see your frustration. The closest I could find is this one from the Ball Fresh Preserving website,,, www.freshpreserving.com/singapore-chili-sauce-%7C-red-chili-sauce---ball-fresh-preserving-br1261.html#q=Hot%2Bpepper%2Bsauce&start=4. I hope that’s helpful. 😊

Can you use regular pectin

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes but you will need to use the amount of sugar called for in regular pectin

[@kymewatkins6948]

Can you use frozenpeaches

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@kymewatkins6948]

Thank you for the info

[@hummbaby20]

Why only Bottled lemon juice, and not fresh?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Bottled is consistent in acidity fresh isn’t

Do I peel the peaches?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Sandra Burnham yes, peaches must be peeled for canning. Sorry I didn’t clarify 😊

[@Ventura0404]

That’s just it they’re really little and I can’t. Is it because it’s the look. Or is it because the canning thing. When I make peach cobbler’s I leave the skin on

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Ventura0404 gotcha. You do not have to peel them if you don’t mind the look and texture 😊.

[@Ventura0404]

I probably won’t mind it because I love the way it looks in a peach cobbler you can’t even tell that the skins there. Thank you I guess that’s what I’ll be working all next week because I’ve got 5 gallon bags of baby pictures. They’re good but they’re just little off my trees.😊

[@Ventura0404]

I’ll let you know how it goes

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Ventura0404 yes, please do! Just FYI an easy way to peel them is to put them in boiling water for 30 second, then put them in ice water for a few seconds, then the skins slide right off. Works for tomatos too 😊

[@Ventura0404]

Yeah I know. But I saw another lady that just left her peelings on and made a peach cobbler. It came out beautiful the skin just makes a tour little more rosy pink. Like I said you can’t even tell that it’s there. That’s why when you want to try it if I don’t have to pee I’m not going to. Like I said I will let you know. :-)

Why bottle lemon juice?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

The acidity is consistent which is required for safety reasons

[@allanpowers8834]

why remove the rings before storing

[@dorettagallucci8406]

Can you explain why remove rings to store. I’ve always left them on. Also, if the “pop” doesn’t happen naturally, but I gently touch the lid and it “pops”, is it okay?

[@daleballard6129]

A towel works good once the product is in
