    • @useful.knowledge
      @useful.knowledge  3 месяца назад +1

      Hi. Thanks!! Yes, I think you can double it. I’ll state the obvious…just make sure you have a big enough pot and work quickly when placing the jam in the jars. To make certain the jam doesn’t cool down, I would recommend turn the eye to low instead of all the way off while you start filling the jars. When you get half of them filled, you can turn the eye off and finish filling the rest.

    What happened to the last step where you boil the full jars for 10 mins in water? (Water bathing!)

    • @useful.knowledge
      @useful.knowledge  2 года назад +3

      Hi. I don’t water bath. I use the open kettle method that I was taught as a child. It was the recommended method for acidic items such as jams, jellies, and tomatoes until water bath became recommended. I’ve used it my entire life and honestly never lose a jar.

    • @useful.knowledge
      @useful.knowledge  2 месяца назад

      Open kettle is the predecessor to water bath. In my experience, they last at least 12-18 months in the pantry. Most of mine are eaten by then. With that said, I have some tomatoes that are 5 years old right now with not issues.

      Excellent question. If I had mashed up the plums, I would have about 4 cups. That’s why the recipe goes for 4 cups sugar.

  • @leevons_home_vids
    @leevons_home_vids 2 года назад +1

    I gathered inspiration from your jam videos to make my own batch. I used the recipe from your peach jam video and your cold plate technique from this video to make a Strawberry Peach jam. I used equal parts of crushed strawberry and crushed peaches. I used that amount of sugar as well and boiled it for a good amount of time until it was thick-ish on a cold plate (i thought it was thick enough at the moment) . Although I believe I didn't get it hot enough as it didn't set up completely when cooled. I wish I had a candy thermometer to check its temp while cooking as that might have helped. Maybe you have to heat it longer with strawberry. Anyway, the flavor turned out amazing. You can taste the strawberry more than the peach but it's not by much. Highly suggest that combo next time as it's not a heard of flavor. I'd definitely make it again.
    Secondly, I tried your open kettle method for the first time and I have to say I'm converted to it now. It's so much easier than spending an hour heating a pot of water and then waiting another half hour to get the jars processed.
    Edit: after re-discovering your video on strawberry jam I realize now I just didn't boiled it long enough. I boiled it maybe for a half hour once it started to boil.

    • @useful.knowledge

      Hi. Thanks for you kind comments!! The strawberry peach jam does sound good.

  • @leevons_home_vids
    @leevons_home_vids Год назад +1

    Whenever I make jam it always swells up a ton in the pot and sometimes I have to pull it off the heat to let it settle down and turn the temp way down on the stove to keep it from over flowing. Do you have any tricks to keep it from doing that or is that something that's just inevitable?

    • @useful.knowledge
      @useful.knowledge  Год назад +1

      Hi. That does happen sometimes to me even though I’ve been canning for a long time. Once it gets to boiling, I start backing off the heat especially in a heavy pot like my porcelain cast iron because it holds so much heat over a thin stainless pot. The goal is to get it to boiling without passing the sweet spot.
