I have a LOT of tiny onions, and since I'm relatively new to canning, I wasn't sure what to do with them. While scrolling, I happened to see this video. The onion pearl jam looks delish, and I checked out your other video listings and subscribed. I also have a bunch of tiny red onions, so I hope they can be put in this mix as well.
That would be perfect let us know how it turns out we would love to see it! Yes you can absolutely use red onions just like white onions with the same canning process! 😊
@@kerschnerfarmstead It ended up tasting pretty darned good, but because there were WAAAAY more purple onions than the white, it looked a bit like the La Brea tar pits, instead of deep golden brown caramelly goodness! I'm still working up my nerve to use my pressure canner, so I opted to refrigerate it.
🤣 that's so great! I'm glad you came back to let us know! If you want full instructions on pressure canning check out our pressure canning beans video and our shucking and pressure canning corn video. Those both have full instructions including going over the safety check before canning and I also do a little chat in each video about pressure canning and being aware of the process but not being afraid 😁.
Yeahhh they were definitely not our best harvest 🤣. We tried a new way of growing them this year and it definitely didn't work out as planned lol. But we didn't want to waste them 😍.
Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. I want to try the pressure canning recipe. You mentioned that you use 15 pounds for 40 minutes at your elevation. I am under 1000 feet and would use the same size jars as you (half pint). How much weight would I use? Would the time stay the same? Thanks for your advice.
Absolutely it is the presto 01282. That being said it's NOT the new one. The new one you can buy now is only a cooker. Not a cooker/canner combo. The one I have has a copyright of 1998. ~Kirstie
Yes ma'am your waterbath canning time for the onion jam and pickled onions will be 25 minutes. As a general rule most recipes are written with the base time for 0-1000ft and then you will add 15 minutes to that time for your elevation. I only add 5 minutes for my elevation. I hope this helps!
