Did you know this safety tip?! It’s not necessari Did you know this safety tip?! It’s not necessarily an actual step in water bath/boiling water canning. But it is an extra safety measure for you personally. Trying to pull hot jars from a rolling boil can be done but those 5 minutes slows the boil so that you can see all your jars and calms the water. Let me know, are you going to implement this tip? Once your jars are out of the canner and on the counter. Walk away. Don’t wipe the excess water off the lids. Don’t tighten the rings. WALK. A. WAY!! your jars are either sealed or about to seal. If you touch your lids or rings you might create a false seal. Now we wait for 12-24 hours before checking on our success Equipment used: Lids and rings from @forjars (code FLOUR10 helps you save) Happy Canning! 👩🏻‍🌾 Boots PS Now tell me, what’s something you want to learn how to make and preserve? if you were new around here, my name is Boots and I am a master food safety advisor (Your state may call it a master food preserver) if you are looking for scientifically based and safe canning practices, welcome I am here to teach this all to you so you can be worry free in preserving your food at home follow along for more Simple From Scratch Nourishing Recipes and more food preserving tips @theflouringhome
But don’t miss this step… once you add your jars But don’t miss this step… once you add your jars into the canner, that has your hot water, your processing time does not start yet!!! your water needs to come to a rolling boil before you can start your processing timer processing jars means the time duration the jars and its contents needs to be submerged in water. The role of processing canning jars is not so that the lids will seal, rather it’s to heat up and process the contents to eliminate any potential bacteria, yeast and mold within the product. The sealing of the jar allows your product to be shelf stable. Processing goes beyond bringing your product to heat or to boil, if you’re not adjusting your processing time for elevation in time or pounds of pressure if your pressure canning then you’re not processing your jars correctly and increase your risk of becoming sick. If you are filling your jars and allowing your jars to “naturally” seal without processing in your boiling water canner, you have not processed your jars at all. This is an unsafe practice. Your recipe will tell you how long to process your jars AND you also need to account for your elevation when you are processing your jars. This usually means you’re adding several minutes to the processing time. (See the comments for these processing adjustments) If your recipe does not have a processing time, the safe thing for you to do is to freeze what you’ve made an you should not proceed in canning your product in hopes of achieving a shelf stable jar More in comments 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Comment CANNING for your resources I need you to Comment CANNING for your resources I need you to know… It’s not as easy as just halving the amount of sugar in a recipe. Adding sugar into our home preserved food, like jams and jellies is actually incredibly important! Sugar does two things: 1️⃣ it helps to bind water to help decrease chances of spoilage 2️⃣ sugar acts as a preserving agent to help preserve color and taste. Think about it. We eat with our eyes. We crave that vibrant strawberry red jam. ➡️But when you eliminate sugar from your jam it turns a very pale and sad brown making our brains 🧠 think it’s gone bad. If you’d rather have a low sugar jam, @pomonas.universal.pectin is my choice! What makes pomonas pectin special? This pectin uses calcium chloride to bind the water molecules to aid in creating that signature “jam” texture and therefore doesn’t need the acid and sugar available. With pomonas you use less sugar too! I opt for honey (which is why you always see me grabbing honey with my @azurestandard order). To make berry jam: 4 cups mashed fruit I/4 cup lemon juice (from a bottle NOT freshly squeezed) 1/2 cup to 1 cup honey (you decide the sweetness) 2tsp pectin 2tsp calcium water Directions: 🫙 Prepare your water bath canner with 6 washed & rinsed pints (I always do extra just in case) or 12 half pints 🫙 Prepare your @forjarsusa lids by boiling your lids in water 🥄 In a non reactive pot (I used stainless steel) bring your berries, lemon juice, and calcium chloride to a low boil 🥄 Combine your honey and pectin together 🥄 When your jam is showing signs of thickening, add your honey and pectin and mix well. 🥄 Cook for 1-2 minutes and return to a boil 🫙 Remove your jars from the canner, ladle in jam to jars to 1/4” headspace, wipe rims, place lids to fingertip tight and back into the canner. 🫙 Process jars for 10 minutes PLUS the additional time for your altitude (see below) 🫙 Once processing time has occurred, turn off burner, leave jars in the canner for 5 minutes before removing. 🫙 Allow jars to cool and seal. 🫙 After 24 hours check lids for sealing and store 🫙 ENJOY!

Why?! Jars should be warm because adding a hot li Why?! Jars should be warm because adding a hot liquid (in this case jam) to a cold jar can lead to a thermal shock effect and that means your jar can crack and break. Warm your jars to prevent this Some use hot water or a dishwasher, I utilize my canner. One thing to know if your processing time is 10 minutes or less, adding your jars to your canner and bringing them to a boil, will sanitize your jars. If your processing time is over 10 minutes, you do not need to sanitize the jar. Also, that towel on the counter?! It’s actually important. The towel creates a barrier between your hot jars and your cold countertop. If those two meet, thermal shock. Plus, if you do have any siphoning your towels clean up the mess that much faster. More jam sessions coming right up. As always, have a question, ask! I’m here to help.
