I appreciate you showing the stumbles as well as the wins. And yeah, the canning I most fumble is the canning I have 100% confidence I remember the steps. A reminder to slow down and review the recipe is always a good idea!
Yummy strawberry jam, I do a bit of canning, meats, jams, fruits. I invested in 2 pressure canners and 2 waterbaths years ago. I'm so glad that I did because now they are doubled in price here in Australia. 🍓🍓🍓
Everything's so much more expensive! It's crazy. I can do what I need to worry the pressure canner, but if really like a steam canner so I don't have to heat the kitchen up as much
If you love the taste of fresh strawberries also give freezer jam a try if you have not. I recently helped my brother make a batch while visiting them in CA and it is delicious!
