Do you let frozen berries thaw? How do you avoid possible breakage with jars with hot steam bath and room temp jars? Thanks. Love my steam canner as well.
Awesome video, great advices! I followed every steps while making my cranberry juice, 21 jars! They look amazing, the only thing bothers me is that some foamy bubbles are on the top line of the liquid inside the jars. Seems like they're bubbling, but just foam all around... All of the jars are sealed perfectly, but I don't know if I did something wrong or this is just normal to have this foam inside? Could you please let me know, if I should worry about it or it is normal. Thank you in advance!
Rule of thumb: never shake your jars before/after canning before they're sealed. The contents can get under the seal causing it to not seal properly. Also you'll be able to tell if the product has not sealed when pulling out of the canner by checking if the jar is bubbling. If it's not bubbling then the air is escaping through the seal. Set that jar off to itself. 👍
Great question. If you wanted it to be SUPER concentrated you could, but I'd recommend against that. The recipe is already pretty concentrated. I'd back it down to no more than 1/2 cup but honestly you could still do it well with 1/3 cup.
My sugar didn’t dissolve completely in some of my jars. I used hot water and even stirred before putting my lid and rings on. Not sure why it did that!
You definitely don’t want to shake them before they have a chance to seal - the lids seal as they cool down. But the jars will be hot so I don’t think your boys would be able to shake them before they cool. You should be fine!
Wait I don’t have the space. I have to process 30 bags I just got on sale. So I will fill with cranberries add water to bottom neck. Splash of lemon juice. Then process. Water takes up space in those jars!
5 bags 12oz. each will do 14 jars. You'll need 7 cases of quart jars. You don't need lemon juice unless you like it in your juice. Makes good popsicles in the summer.
I’m confused. . . 1 cup = 8 oz so wouldn’t 5 X 12 oz bags make 7 1/2 quart jars?? I’m going to try this tomorrow so I want to make sure that I’m not missing something.
Looks easy and delicious. Bought a case of cranberries from Azure and now I know what to do with them this weekend. Excited for your new channel! Subbed.
@@onemoredoll5791 You can also freeze the berries, and use them throughout the year! I make muffins, sauce for roasted chicken, sweet breads, etc from frozen berries.
I haven’t personally tried it, but I’ve heard maple syrup works beautifully. Not sure how stevia or other sweeteners would do, but I think it would be worth a try.
So glad to see your first video. You did great! The recipe will come in so handy. ❤
I make grape juice this way, but never thought of cranberry jc. ;-) Thank you!
I’m so happy to see you on here!
I’m getting a steam canner for Christmas and I cannot wait!!!
So happy for you. You'll love it!
Costco sells big bags of cranberries this time of year for super cheap. Thanks for the recipe! I’ll be getting some and making this.
Cheaper that $1 for 12oz? That’s the lidl price.
Looks so good!! I think I can even do this as a canning newbie!
You can totally do it.
I’m excited to make this I love cranberry juice and my steam canner !!!
Tried it today finally 😂 and I’m so excited!! Super simple and easy. I tried it with the water bath and I’m happy with the result!
I’m so glad it turned out well for you! That’s awesome! 👏👏
Love love cranberry juice!!
So glad I found your Channel! Can’t wait to try this!
Thank you!
Love this❤ Hope you do many more videos!
Thank you so much. That was so easy.
Loved this, thank you!!
Two questions, is the processing time the same for a water bath canner? And if using the water bath, should the jars and water be hot?
I love her accent
Haha thanks!

I just did 20 jars also.... I have the foam too but my head space is about 2 inches... Ughhh is it safe.?
It should settle out if it’s just air bubbles. It won’t hurt anything as long as the lids sealed. 💕
Love it, thanks!

I made some last week since the berries were on sale here
If I use pints instead of quarts, would I still use a cup of cranberries?
Great question. If you wanted it to be SUPER concentrated you could, but I'd recommend against that. The recipe is already pretty concentrated. I'd back it down to no more than 1/2 cup but honestly you could still do it well with 1/3 cup.
I wonder if you could use stevia??? I grow my own!
Make it without the sugar and sweeten after you open it.
I made it in the stove top with not sugar and came out ok ..
My sugar didn’t dissolve completely in some of my jars. I used hot water and even stirred before putting my lid and rings on. Not sure why it did that!
It's not uncommon for there to be some sugar at the bottom. You did nothing wrong. You can stir it after you open the jar and it will be just fine.
Do you sterilize all the jars before using a steam canner?
I run my jars through the sterilize cycle on my dishwasher.
Okay the leave them alone part...I have a house full of boys that would shake it before asking hey mom what's this...would that ruin it?
You definitely don’t want to shake them before they have a chance to seal - the lids seal as they cool down. But the jars will be hot so I don’t think your boys would be able to shake them before they cool. You should be fine!
Is that 25 minutes at sea level?
Wishing I asked Santa for a canner 😅

If I don’t have a steam canner, how do I process with a water bath canner?
It will be the same way with a water bath canner. 25 minutes and your set!
@@Gracewalkfarm Just cover the jars with water and start counting the 25 minutes down when the water is at a boil correct?
@@KatherineBartlettWhiskey yes! Start timing when the water is boiling

What about sugar substitute?
I haven’t personally tried it, but I’ve heard maple syrup works beautifully. Not sure how stevia or other sweeteners would do, but I think it would be worth a try.
I’d rather add maple on honey when it’s time to drink. Save those nutrients!
Step 1 wash them!
You add a slice of orange or orange rind to ea.jar ?
