Ball Canning - brought to you by Newell Brands. We’re here to help you every step of the way through the tradition of preserving & canning garden fresh produce.
I'm so glad you explained the shoulder's on the jars. I had KNOW IDEA that this made a difference on freezing. I always just left an inch or more in my soups, salsa, etc., but still had problems cracks, or broken jars most of the time. This helps so much, thank you!
Very informative video! What are your testing methods and results? You keep saying don't veer from the tested recipe, but you never say why. I am interested in tomato recipes in particular. E.g., how does adding tomato paste become a no-no? I have added tomato paste to salsa recipes, sent my samples to a lab in Chicago for pH testing and people still say, "stick to Balls' recipes" which I do, but I tweak and THEN send off for testing.
I’m guessing she is talking about the canning and preserving 101 section under canning and preserving guides / getting started section on the site because I couldn’t find an ebook either lol. Glad to know I want the only one.
Question: what about deleting things from a recipe? For instance a spaghetti sauce that calls for onions celery and mushrooms. We don’t like any of those things in our sauce. Can I delete these ingredients and it still be safe?
Good idea with jar rings. I went to goodwill got a round cake pan. Drilled several holes and used that. It work great just make sure the are enough holes I made sure my wife knew it was not one of her cake pans. Lol
I do speak English and laughed when they only used ounces. I guest Ball jars are only available in the USA. Or Americans are the only people in the world that preserve food. I'm surprised I found this video given that it was probably posted on the America-wide web...... Glad this was my first Ball video. I can skip the rest and go elsewhere to learn about canning.
Sad that the recipe is not given in the process. For those that are looking for it- I assume it is the Basil-Garlic Tomato Sauce listed on the Ball website. Keeps saying the word Recipe.. but not provided not mentioned amounts for those of us that watch these.
*RECIPE* 4 ½ cups finely chopped green, red or yellow bell pepper or a combination (about 4 large) ½ cup finely chopped jalapeño pepper (about 4 small) 1 ¼ cups apple cider vinegar 3 Tbsp Ball® RealFruit™ Low or No-Sugar Needed Pectin 2 cups sugar 1 cup honey
Hi! Just want to make sure…So it is OK to decrease a recipe that calls for a pint jar to half pint jars as long as I process it for the same amount of time as the large one?!
"Gather all your ingredients and prep them according to the recipe..." and yet there's no recipe linked in the video and no recipe linked in the description provided by Ball.
