- Today I’m sharing a water bath canning tutorial for beginners, or anyone who might need a re-fresh on the subject.
* A note on altitude - All canning recipe times in published books are based on sea level. Depending on your altitude, you might need to add extra canning time. This is an important step to not neglect! Here is a link to an altitude chart:

Tools you need to get started:
• A canning pot with a lid and rack - get one large enough for quart sized jars, as some are only big enough for pints.
• Mason Jars with lids and rings - if using pre- loved canning jars, always check for chips or cracks on the rims. Those will not seal properly!
• Canning tools: a jar lifter, lid lifter with magnet, canning funnel and a de-bubbling tool. You can find these as a set inexpensively.
That’s basically it!!
It is helpful to buy lots of:
• Vinegar - regular and apple cider for pickles
• Pickling Salt
• Sugar
• Extra lids
• Mason Jars
These items can sell out during the canning season. It’s a good idea to stock up, if you plan on doing lots of canning. I try to stock up out of season, little by little, so when the season hits, I’m good to go!
I hope you find this video helpful so you can get started with canning!

Well done video. I too did my share of canning, but once
I discovered freezer jam, I was hooked. We had a large freezer, so we had room for the containers. NOw days I receive my jam via my lovely daughter who is enjoying her home making much as you do. Preparing for the family gives a true feeling of accomplishment and love. Enjoy your gardens bounty.Joan
Joan, thank you! 😊 I regard this as a huge compliment, coming from an experienced canner! I have never tried freezer jam! So great that you have a daughter who is into homemaking as well. ❤️
Hi Suzanne from West Virginia. Great jam tutorial. You have inspired me to start canning again. Your jam looked delicious 🍓
Thank you!! I hope you do. 😀 It is such a rewarding skill!
Great video, thank you, Suzanne. Your canning process is meticulous
As always, I come away from watching your videos as having learned something new.❤
Thanks so much Roberta!! ❤️ I’m so glad you learned something new from this video!

Thank you, very informative for a newbie!
Oh great, thank you! That was my hope in making this video. I really want to help get more people canning! ❤️❤️❤️
Suzanne,
I come from an era that I watched my grandmother make jellies and jams. Back then they used paraffin wax to seal the jars. I not quite sure how she processed the contents of the jars. That's about all the training that I got for preservation. I learned about canning with water bath and pressure canning on my own by reading and using the Blue Ball Canning book which is the go-to here in the States for canning instructions. My jars are either Ball-Mason or Kerr. They seem to be the most tested and durable. During the Covid years the lids were a bit scarce here in Nebraska, but I had stocked up beforehand so didn't have an issue. I like canning over freezing because the power in my city likes to go off way more often than it should. This year the power was off for almost a week in some parts of the city. Fortunately, it was only three hours for me. As time goes on, I'm thinking canning is the way to go. It might be more work up front, but in the long run it's safe and doesn't require any power to keep. I'm not against freezing but just not for long term storage. It's just my humble opinion. Have a great day in the kitchen canning.

Hi Dave,
I totally agree with you about canning versus freezing. A couple of years ago I had spent a lot of time canning and freezing my harvest. I also had squash stored in our garage. It hit minus 20 degrees C. And our squash froze. Our freezer accidentally got unplugged when the furnace guy came for repairs. So I lost all the squash and everything in my deep freeze! The only thing that made it that winter was the canned goods. I realized how precious it was to have those canned goods, even though it seemed to take so much more effort. That was a valuable lesson! I will continue to can my food.
I read in an old cookbook about how to use the paraffin. You put a very light layer of melted paraffin, let it harden. Then you lay a string across it and add a second thin layer. This way you can pull on the string to lift the paraffin and unseal the jar! You can also put shavings of paraffin in the bottom of your jar, and when you add the hot contents, the paraffin will rise to the surface. I’m not sure if it was only used for jams and jellies? So interesting. Not sure if anyone uses that method anymore. Probably considered unsafe. I’m sure it worked for them though!
Have a great day!! ❤️
Thank you. This was so helpful and inspiring! ❤
Awesome, thank you!! 😊
Thank you so so much for sharing this video.. I have never canned, but have wanted to. This was a great educational video. Love Cher, from Wyoming USA ♥️
Hi Cher! ❤️ I am so glad I can help. If you give it a try, don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I also have more info down in the description. 😀
@@thefarmerswifecanada thank you so much.. Was thinking about ordering the canning book you use. Can you share the link or the name 😊 Also, would love to see more videos of meals you make for your family ♥️
@@cherbuchanan7179 Hi Cher, here is the link for the home canning book! Bernardin Complete Book of Home Preserving: 400 Delicious and Creative Recipes for Today a.co/d/d23hPQu. I believe there is an American version of this book as well. I think it’s the Ball Home Preserving Book. But I’m pretty sure they are the same. ❤️
@@thefarmerswifecanada thank you so much ♥️
I loved this video. I learned so much. I’ve done some water bath canning with beets in the past but I’d like to do more this year. I’ve always made freezer jam so haven’t made jam canned. Maybe I will later this year.
Oh good! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope it gives you the confidence to do more canning! Don’t hesitate if you have any questions 😀
