Jill many gave you exclent remarks - but many just had to coment on the camera movement and how they became motion sick lol - so I leave this comment - just take some motion sickness med while watching this video
I just watched the video you had some real good ideas - I realy liked them, as far as the camera movement I was focused on what you were conveying and didn't really noticed the Camers movement all that much - my guess is those that noticed all that, normally watch Hollywood videos often - that's what my guess is lol
How long do you water bath them and can you do this with meats?
@@neotheone6796 with high acid food 10 minutes for jars up to 12 oz - one pint & quart jars 15 minutes cover them with 2 inches of water - with meat and beans you have to pressuer can them for at least one hour - you fill the pot to the brim just under the lid - bring the pressuer cooker to steam allow the steam to vent - 15 minutes then close or install the weight and pressuer cook at least an hour - if you go to long you will loose some of the water in the jar or liquid in the jar
@@able880 thank you so much I appreciate it
I've used a rag on the bottom of my pot and never had a broken jar, also i use another rag on top of my jars to be able to stack my jars
Cool, thanks for the tip!
When i first tried canning i used aluminum foil. You just roll 7* 2inch strips and make a circle with 3 and four aluminum strings crossing through the middle. Worked perfectly.
Great🤗 Thanks for sharing
I was just about to ask about this, thanks for the confirmation. First time canner lol
Trying out the rag method rn fingers crossed!
A towel or round cake rack will work on the bottom of the pot.
I have used foil before in the bottom of the pot. I twisted it and made it the shape of like a spider web and it worked great!
I was never shown how to from a grandparent so thank you. I don't know why I feel like I can't do this. But thanks to you I've got the gear and ready to roll..
I raided my husband's toolbox and got a pair of channel locks...works great to lift jars.
I might try that!
Absolutely genius!! Lots of things are not available and some of us older people aren’t going out!! Thank you !!!
You can also make a funnel using heavy duty aluminum foil. Wrap some around the Solo cup ( or whatever you have) and then mold the shape to fit your jar opening. Throw away when you are done. You can also do this to add oil to your car if you don’t have a car funnel
Great tip, thanks
Could also just cut out the bottom of the solo cup….
Thankyou. I am just getting into canning here in Australia and I don’t want to pay $130 for the ball canning water bath pot!
A steam canner is way easier than water bath canning! I saw a TH-cam video where you can use a water bath canner as a steam canner. Saves a ton of time and energy. You can steam can anything you can waterbath can.
I didn't know you can just boil jars to can! I was wanting to do it for so long but thought you needed a big fancy pressure canner thing that looked complicated. Thank you
You need a pressure canner for low acid food such as vegetables and meat. Most fruit products, pickles, high acid foods are just water bathed or "boiled"
I've made lots of funnels by cutting plastic bottles in half and using the top half. Of course, you'd have to make sure it was tough enough to handle hot liquids like you said. But they might work as well as a red solo cup if you don't have one of those.
This is so excellent! I was “in a pinch” today, and wanted to try canning for the first time with a big batch of strawberries we picked this week. These tips made it possible!! Will certainly be investing in the real tools 😂
8:47 if you have a silicone oven mitt on hand. You could probably use that.
Very informative, as usual. I hate to say anything and I apologize, but I would like to give a critique. While i like a lot of things about the new videos, the constant movement of the camera is disruptive and difficult to watch (makes me nauseous). Maybe I'm the only one...
I had the same problem :(
Love “being” in your kitchen but yes, the constant movement of the camera is so distracting that in thinking more about it than I am about the content 😬
I just focused on what she was sharing and found her video very interesting
@@able880 ... and helpful. Just focus😏
@@flowerchild777 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing your expertise and ways around perfection. I'm one that isn't sure if I like or want to can, and buying all the "stuff" will take up more room than I'm willing to give, at this point. So this is great🤗
This is exactly what I need! I have a tree full of peaches that are almost ripe! Thank you for these hacks
I bought a large pasta pot that is the size of a stockpot. The insert for the pasta does not touch the bottom of the pot, has holes in it, and makes it really easy to lift out the jars.
That's perfect!
Omg thank you for this! I wanted to start canning but nervous about getting equipment! Now I can start a little bit and buy what I need as I go 🥰
Thank you so much for this video. I love all the information - especially how to use on hand items for canning.
THANK YOU for showing how to think outside the box!
Full watch and really liked your video. Great hacks! Never thought of using a Solo cup as a funnel! Genius using rubber bands on the tongs!!!
This video (as are all of your videos) was so informative and helpful. I cannot even express how much I appreciate the knowledge you share. 🙌🏻
Loved this! I cook for a living and this was one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time. So awesome with all the realistic tips and tricks!
I place a clean thick COTTON wash cloth or folded COTTON kitchen towel in the bottom of one of my pots. I've also cut slits along the edges of 2 used light weight pie pans to help make it a bit flat and set them on top of each other inside the pot.
This was amazing! Such a great no cost project, no fluff and fanciness just the important stuff.
Great information and great tips only put off by the camera work making me feel seasick. Sorry. Otherwise it was professional and a must for newbies. . Xxx
Just came to say the same thing
Me too
I was going to say the same. The audio is distracting as well. It sounds like you're blowing out the mic.
It's a great shame as the content is so valuable. I couldnt watch in the end. I just listened.
This information is invaluable for the coming times. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💖
Love your videos! My mom used to use towels to lift the jars out of the pot.
ThankU. I like how u showed alternative ways.
This was so helpful.
I love all the great information you give us! Thank you so much!
So happy I found your video! I've been trying to figure out how to start canning, but I have a smooth glass top stove whose biggest burner is only 9.5". Happy to know I can use a stock pot. 😊
Thank you so much! I am on a whim and want to can tonight!
I absolutely love this message so simple it takes away all excuses not to start. You ate a God sent you have no idea how long ive been procastinating! Thank you beloved keep shining your light!❤️
Love these tips!
Very clever ideas, thank you, it was a pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much for listing alternatives!!
Morning! Thank you for all the helpful hints.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Thank you!! I live in a tiny apartment so I didn’t want to buy a huge bulky canner, but I still want to be able to can salsa and some dips, so this is perfect!!
Thank you!! Finally exactly the video I needed
Thank you for this!
Can you reuse tomato sauce jars to can if you use new rings and covers (lids)?
Hey, this is an old comment but yes you can reuse the store jars apparently!!
What a thoughtful video, love it. Thanks
You suggestions worked wonderfully! THANK YOU
that was really useful info. Here in australia water bath canning and pressuring canning equipment is hard to come by - other than ordering from Amazon USA and shipping over here. Going to use some of these hacks to try this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Me too in Aussie land hard to get equipment
Great video, ty for sharing!
Just found your channel and Im hooked Im so excited bout canning!!
Great tips!
You are amazing. THANK YOU!
This is brilliant!
Great tips thanks for sharing 👍😎
Love these ideas thx Jill!!!
You are so resourceful!
Thank you!!! This video was a huge help!!!!! 🥰
Gotta love canning season.
Awesome video
sooo grateful, i like you said decided to make homemade applesauce - never before Ha! could not have done it without YOU :)
Thank you very much for your video, I was going to buy the canning equipment now I don't have to. Great video 👍👍
Thanks for the great tips
That was great! 🙂
You can never have too many tongs! Haha. All sizes!
I haven't got a jar lifter yet so, the tong trick is exactly what I need today for my first lot of pickled cauliflower. I knew I should have bought some on Amazon when I bought more jars. 🤣
Thank you
Love the info! Can't handle the moving camera though. I got so motion sick and had to just listen instead of watching 😔
Very true, not sure why the camera had to move so much. Would have been better to have a tripod and then add in up close clips over her talking. Then no one gets dizzy!
Same, I had to stop watching and take a break from the computer 🤢
Me too! 😔
This is great. LOL noticed you had a metal trivet right next to the pot that you could have used instead of rings/string. 🙂
Very clever rack hack.
This is absolutely brilliant! You can reuse the jars and metal rings, but you have to have new metal discs every time, right? Thank you!
Yes, new lids every time you can.
@@tbbfarm6544 Thank you!
Or get some Tattler reusable lids and rings. They can be reused 8-10 times.
Yup! The jars and rims can be reused, but new lids each time are a must!
The Prairie Homestead why?
Good tips!! Worth remembering if you find yourself in a pinch.
Hello Ma'am thank you for such a lovely video.....I am from India ....and I am really excited to try this ......I would like to know the density of the glass jars used for canning safely .....
Canners are not available in the UK so very helpful video thank you
Great info. Need to improve on the camera movement. Thanks for Sharing.
👍🌴🌴
How long have to be boiling the jars?
You can put a clean kitchen tower or cloth on the bottom of the pot too.
I also got my water bath canner at a garage sale for $1!
I love you for this....... 😘
Lol all those fit in a drawer . wow did she invent the clown car lol I wonder if she is going to pull out like 50 jars out of a tiny pot. I'm so glad I found this channel. I have always heard how you have to can with a canner when it come to meat or low acid type food . I have a canner got it a few years ago and still haven't canned with it . Im going to try the water bath canning seems less of a pain... Hell one channel says you have to take your pressure gauge to a county extension office to get it checked every year . What a crock. Thank you for making canning not so scary .
Ty I live in the uk and I don't know of anyone who cans.I long to have a dabble to see how I would like it. Now I will have a go xx Can you do some simple canning of veg pls to get me started xx
For vegetables you will need to buy a pressure canner. DO NOT process vegetables in a boiling water pot. There are a few that you can, I think, but as a general rule it is not safe to process vegetables in a boiling water bath.

Complicated rings on the bottom of the pan, easy way is just a piece of cloth works also very well.
Hey, from Australia. Say i use little flat used salsa jars. Can I stack them 2 high in the pot, maybe use a round cake cooling rack as a shelf? What do you think.
As long as the top row isn’t directly touching it should be fine with the cake rack between. I’ve use it before when processing. The salsa jars used to seal beautifully, but the last few months they haven’t.
like 38
very nice and good Hacks supper
Your spice rack ❤️👍found a thrift shop sale $2
Can you use this type of canner for meats? Low acid food I know have to get to a certain temp
How long is food preserved doing this? Thank you
Some bent hardware cloth would work great on the bottom
Would a large spaghetti pot with the strainer insert work?
From what i can understand the water must be 2 inches above the canning jars right?
If you use the rings , use the small ones! I only had wide mouth rings and my pint and half pint jars tipped over!
I've tried the tongs, not good..
Invest in a actual jar lifter.
Can I use my pressure canner pot to water bath ?
How long do we leave the stuff boiling for?
My grandmother would put a small towel down in the bottom of the pan.
Can you water bath rice if so how long?
How I'll start canning with no special equipment is have Jill do it. bwahahaha
This was great!!! Now can you tell me what can be water bath...and how...😀
Zandra Crisp foods that are high in acid or sugar can be safely water bathed. Fruits, jams, jellies, pickled items and tomatoes or tomato juice are fine. Veggies , soups and stews should be pressure canned.
@@armyguardmom thank you..am going to try jelly first...😉😀
@@zandracrisp6438 you're very welcome. Just a word of warning. Once you start canning, you won't want to stop. It's addictive, but in a good way. Providing healthy foods for your family, plus knowing where it's coming from, is a big incentive to learn. I've been canning for almost 50 years and still love it. I hope to preserve enough to share with my kids and grandkids.

you can use a towl on bottom to
I use my tamale pot since it has the rack to elevate it
I was wondering if you could use a towel in place of a rack?
Someone in the comments mentioned doing that successfully
Yes!
Great tips but I couldn't watch the video because it moved so much.
Use a round cake airer
Shouldn’t you have something to lift the jays off the bottom of pan?
Floral wire works too
