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!

What about reducing the amount of sugar in recipes that are fruit, such as bread and butter pickles?

Who else but Ball should be teaching us how to can. I discovered this channel by accident and I'm glad i found it

Why not check headspace after removing air bubbles? Wouldn’t the headspace be lowered after air bubbles are removed?

Thank you!

Where’s the recipe?

o love your short concise videos....new viewer here

Is it safe to leave out fresh garlic in a water canning pickling recipe of any kind?

What is the point of the video if you don’t provide the brine recipe/ratios 😢

Loving this tutorial as a person who is very interested in canning so, Thank you! Also, where do I find the e-book you talk about please?

👍

Why not FRESH Lime juice???

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.

Where can I find the free e-book? I do not see it on the Ball Canning website

This was so helpful and just what I needed for my first attempt at this. Thank you so much.

You didn't say how much salt you used

What about eliminating things from the recipes? Specifically, onions, celery, mushrooms? We don’t eat those. And they are in every recipe.

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

You forgot to mention the sizes of the remaining jars. The 2 biggest ones.

Thank you so much. Your advice is a valuable game changer. 🙏

can I use a pressure canner as a bath canner so I don't need 2 pots?

Would freshly grated nutmeg fall under the dried spice exception you mentioned?

When did you add the honey? I saw cooking down the strawberries, but where/when is honey added?

So, if water bath canning 10 minutes or longer, you don't have to sterilize clean/washed jars?

The recipe is on her blog under Strawberry Honey Butter. My eight year old and I made it today and WoW... very yummy!

No hablo inglés, pero he escuchado nombrar el tamaño de las botellas como: cuartos, pintas y medias pintas...tendre que hacer la conversión 🤭

Great. Thank you

You cut this video a little short. I would have liked to have heard about low acid foods and canning them also.

This isn’t roasted sauce. It’s boiled sauce.

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.

Where is the Strawberry Honey Butter recipe directions, do you puree all the ingredients. Would love to have directions.

Good video thanks looks good

why are we making lemon tomatoes?

Ball lids are garbage now, unlike the high quality lids they used to make.

Recipe please with details? Thank you for your time.

You never gave the recipe 😕

The recipe is at the beginning of the video. Screen shot it 😊

*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

Where is the recipe?

Can this be done in the Ball jam an jelly maker?

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?!

Basil ???

Would be nice if you provided the amounts of the ingredients so viewers can actually create the recipe

You really need get you sh.. together No recipes anywhere I’m done watching u bye

We’re is the recipe???

"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.

Excellent!
