Pressure Canning for Beginners

[@CHICHISWEETS]

Loved this canning video! ❤ Newbie here. I tried to pressure can 5 yrs. ago, but I failed. I had jiggler canner w/ out a dial. I never got the jiggler to jiggle. I gave up & threw all the beef stew in the garbage. Now, I bought an electric Nesco canner. I have pressure canned chicken broth. Also, canned carrots 🥕. Finally, I’m successful ❤! Hooked on canning!!!

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

Canning is wonderful! I love it too! Thank you for watching.

[@mynellmolsby4930]

Thank you Mrs. Joan for your tutorial on beginners canning.. you have restored my confidence to returning to canning, since I did with my Mother and sisters in my youth. I’m excited to get going..Blessing to you and your family 😊

am 70 yrs old and never heard of canning dry beans. Why do you can them? I am also from Alabama. I live in Central Alabama. Glad I found you today.

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

@@shannonmcinnis9973 The bought canned beans sometimes taste like the can. The home canned ones taste like they have slow cooked all day. Also so convenient to heat and eat!

[@maryscavone5622]

Is there a difference in caning beans and just dried beans? Also what is the shelf life of most things you can?

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

@@maryscavone5622 As long as your seal is good and tight they are fine. Ours are eaten within a couple years. They taste like slow cooked dry beans yet are conveniently ready to eat.

Hello Mrs Joan..😊 I sure wish I would have watched your video this morning instead of a couple others. My first time canning or pressure canning, started cutting up 5lbs meat and all the other fixings for beef stew around 2pm, with all my hesitations reading and watching videos it was 9:30pm when my 90 minutes was up. I’ve have been so upset I could not eat my dinner. Anyway thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be watching your videos and trying out more items when I recover🤣

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

It will get easier and not so nerve wracking I promise! Don't give up as you're gonna love canning! How nice of you to write me. Thank you!

[@Kim-lg5sd]

Thank you so much for the lesson. I have used a water bath canner for our tomatoes, but I just got my first pressure canner. I felt a little nervous, but felt that if I followed the steps, I'd be OK. I processed 7 quart jars of chili. Only one didn't seal. I think I may have gone over the 1" head space on that jar. Watching your video gives me a little more confidence. My canner is the All American. It's a little different. It doesn't have a rubber seal. That added a little more stress to my first processing; I just have to make sure my lid and canner have a light coating of Vaseline on the surface where they touch. Everything else is the same. Thanks again!!!

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

The canner you have is the cadillac of canners! Awesome! The way I heat the lids makes me feel it loosens the rubber a little and helps with the sealing process. Thanks for writing me!

The info about stoves is very helpful. I've been afraid to use my new big pressure canner on my glasstop stove. The manufacturer says it can be used; however, it is old, and all the elements don't fully work, so I'm now thinking I need a new stove, which I've been wanting and needing for a long time. Now I have more reasons to give my husband why I need a new stove. 😅

I know it's not popular now days but I love my stove with the old time eyes.

Thank you so very much for this video Mrs. Joan 🤗 I have a question, my water is very hard here. It has so much calcium in it. Can I still use it in my canning or should I buy bottled water. I was just wondering if it would ruin the canned food. Thank you in advance. Donna ❤

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

To the best of my knowledge that's why we add the vinegar to our canner. It helps with mineral build up and clouding of our jars. I wouldn't buy bottled water.

@@williebrookshowze5796 There are some good deals now on Amazon for your canner. I have a 23 quart Presto Canner a couple years old and my mother in laws 22 Mirror Canner. They come in smaller sizes too. Look on Facebook Marketplace or Estate Sales are great places because families sell their deceased relatives canning jars, supplies, and canner. Wal-Mart sells jars with lids and bands by the dozen. Your friends that no longer can may want to get rid of theirs. I'll make a post when I'm low on jars and I'm always amazed at who doesn't want theirs!

[@donnastevens7716]

I just watched your video on purple hull peas & you filled the pint jar up all the way and canned them for 40 minutes. Yet these pinto beans you filled up the pint jar with 1/2 cup of beans & canned them for 75 minutes. what is the difference?? Do I can my dry beans 40 mins. or 75 minutes? BTW, I absolutely LOVE your videos.

[@AtHomewithMrsJoan]

@@donnastevens7716 That's a good question. The main difference in the two is that the purple hull peas were fresh out of the garden, not a "dried bean." All dried beans pressure can 75 min for a pint, 90 for a quart. Fresh peas are 40 for a pint, 50 for a quart. You can watch my Canning Dry Beans video where I canned 5 different kinds. Because dry beans swell and soak up the water is why we use 1/2 cup on pint of dry beans. Fresh peas don't swell is why I filled to the 1 inch headspace.
