Smart Canning Sweet Potatoes in the Nesco Electric Canner

[@PhillipMelanchthon]

"Small batch canning possibilities..." This is the perfect way to say this. Thank you for this video and for sharing your time with us.

Thank you for your encouraging words.

Good info! I have raw packed a lot of things, including regular potatoes, but never sweet potatoes. But that muffin recipe sounded great so I'm off to watch that one now!

It is a good one and filled with great nutrition.

Good video! As for your stovetop canner... treat yourself to a weighted jiggler instead of the weight that comes with a regular pressure canner (other than an all American canner). It'll take all the stress out of "babysitting" your canner. Lisa @ Suttons Daze suggested this when I first started pressure canning. I don’t have to worry about getting my gauge calibrated & its so easy to use. I got mine on Amazon. It was somewhere around $16.00 as I recall. Best thing I've done for myself in a long time!! God bless you & yours 🙏🙏

@sandijammes7761, can you use with a gas stove? I have not heard of this. Thank you for sharing this with me. I will look into it! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

You’re the first person that I’ve seen that didn’t leave the rings on the jars.

If you have a failed canning project, you want that seal to break so you know. If you keep the bands (rings) on, it will give a false sense of security. Last year, I had one green bean jar break its seal sitting on my shelf. When I went to crab it, it had mold growing in the jar. I knew to toss it. It is for safety. Thank you for watching!

I saw the Purposeful Panty video & she boiled them for 8 mins. before canning them. Is it ok to skip that? Just asking. TIA

[@sowingback]

Yes, you can raw pack based out of the USDA canning book. Many people prefer to parboil (what she did) because it looks nicer in the jars long term especially with white potatoes. It is just a preference. Thanks for watching, and I always appreciate questions. Questions help us all learn. Happy Holidays.

@@sowingback ok I was wondering about that. Thank you.
