  • What is canning? Why can your own food? How do you start canning and what tools do you need? This is a comprehensive learning to can video that attempts to give a basic understanding of home canning using both a water bath canner and a pressure canner. We cover several types of canning methods, what is approved and not approved by the USDA, how to read canning recipes, and common questions and problems.
    *Note we are not master canners. This is simply a starting place to introduce tools, equipment, terminology, and resources so a beginner canner has a base knowledge for doing research.

    I am subscribing to this channel because you expose everything you are not trying to hide any information on canning, I live in Africa and a lot of food goes to waste here in their season and our African leaders and the rich are only interested in importing goods like imported canned tomatoes, juice, etc while the organic ones go to waste here they are not planning on making use of what they have, or how to preserve these foods in their seasons, so i have decided to do research on how to canned and preserve food

    Hello Jamie, I just want to add one more very positive review. I have recently decided that as a hobby, I have an interest in canning. I spent several hours of internet research looking for the best information, there is really not much available. Just "talking heads" telling me how they do things.
    Until I found your website. You have provided all of us with so much of a complete, comprehensive understanding of how canning should safely work. And as an engineer (electrical engineering) I appreciate your understanding of compromises and tradeoffs. And trying to help us to understand how important it is to to figure out the best way that each of us might approach a given problem. So often you told us to "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH"
    I thank you so much for the hard work it must have taken to do all of the research, writing and production of this video. I have found it to be of tremendous value. I would really encourage you to keep up this great work!

    Having been canning since I was in my late teens, I find it funny how there is still to this day a rule of not using dairy in recipes or not to can milk. If cooking times, water bath times, and pressure canning times are kept true, then whatever is canned is sterilized and will not go bad. And as with all canned foods, kept in a cool dry place is essential. And especially dry. Do not want your lids to have moisture on them so they will rust through. If you have issues with humidity causing condensation, then use glass caps with rubber gaskets.
    But, with ALL foods, bring to the proper temperature for the proper pressure and the proper length of time and the sealed sterilized foods of all sorts will be safe far longer than the expiry dates of metal canned goods.
    Here is an excellent example. There was documented where these explorers found an underground cache in death valley that had log sheets of what came in and when and when items were taken out. Among the leftover canned foods were jarred peaches. Glass lids with rubber gaskets. They were placed in that cache in the late 1890s. Even though it is death valley, things in the ground stay cool and dry. They noticed the food looked good and took a chance and opened up a jar. Smelled it and then tasted it and exclaimed how it tasted better than the modern varieties. Needless to say, the took the rest of the jars home with them after first finishing off the jar they opened.
    Yes, properly processed and stored and your foods can and will last that long.
    Dried beans/peas, if fully cooked, they can be canned. If you want to do dry long-term storage of dry goods such as beans, flours, whole grains, you can "oven" can those goods and it has been noted that when also stored in a cool dark dry space that they can last easily 15 years or longer. There are youtube channels devoted to such dry food canning.
    Be safe and understand that heat in the process is your friend as is cool dry storage is your security. As is the scout motto, "Be Prepared".

    Watching your videos is my refresher course. My family canned everything up until the 70's. My sister asked me, " what was that pig meat that grandma canned? It was so good." I couldn't help but laugh. I remember when a bad rooster would end up in a jar and years later, appear back upstairs to be eaten. I have a woodstove as well as the modern conveniences and look forward to getting back to my roots. Thank you for refreshing my memories!

This is the first video I have watched that has been over 30 minutes that had kept my attention that is not a movie or show. I agree on saying you should be a teacher/ instructor you are the perfect example of "measure twice cut once" kinda person. Thank you for the information and knowledge you bring to the RUclips canning world I'm definitely interested now.

  • @davef4744
    @davef4744 6 лет назад +6

    I've been (pressure) canning for at least 40 years. I simply love the fact that I have wholesome, home-made foods readily available in my pantry. I also love that, when produce is plentiful, I have a reliable method of preserving it for the winter. I've become quite adept at simplifying the canning processes that I use because I've found commonalities and shared tendencies over the years that have allowed me to find ways to do things in concert and still preserve the safety of my processes. I have to admit, though, that I'm less confident with water-bath canning and I will oftentimes opt for just putting the pickles, for example, in the fridge. I'll make a gallon of pickles and they'll last me a year and I'll just work from a supply in the downstairs fridge, if you know what I mean? Each year, when I do it, I really wish that I had stopped to learn how to process them in quarts so they'd be shelf-stable but it always seems like I've gotta get the job done and I don't have time to learn it or whatever. I know it's odd, perhaps, because most people probably get to pressure canning last in their evolution but I got there first, so I'm an anomaly. I'm sure you have a video or something that would make me confident with water-bath canning? :-)

    One other thing I'd like to add as a veteran canner... Yes the Ball Blue Book is probably one of, if not the Best guides to go by when it comes to a novice canner. I have to this day to understand why every book about canning kernel corn always requires such a super long canning time, anywhere from 60-90 minutes, when in reality you don't even cook corn on the stove top near that long! That is one canning time In the BB book, I would have to debunk! As a child I recall my mother talking about canning corn so long and still lost jars because of becoming unsealed. Well.... A dear widow lady taught me years ago about canning corn, with adding sugar/salt(I prefer sugar), to the BOTTOM of the jar before adding in your freshly slivered corn, cut from cob in raw state & boiling water, then the lid, and ring. Use 10lb pressure for both qts and pints, I process pints 20 minutes...THAT'S ALL! I believe what she sd to be truth. She asked me one day, How long do you cook corn on the stove top. I sd for corn on cob, usually 9 minutes. She said, then why pressurize it 90 minutes, & it has been CUT OFF the cob?! She stated to cook corn that long would be cooking off the rubber inside the lid, therefore you stand a big chance of your corn unsealing.. Ever since, I have done it exactly her way, I think in all the yrs, I may have lost 2 pint jars. That's a pretty good record. The corn was beautiful and nothing wrong with it. Sooooo to me that's 1 error in the BB book. Just sharing! Hope this was helpful! : ))

    I started canning after seeing THIS video. I absolutely love canning, it has saved me during some hard times as well as good times. I have come a LONG way since that first day of standing nervously by my new pressure canner, wondering if it was going to blow up or not! In these times of COVID-19, and now the possibility of a serious food shortage, people would do well to pick up this important skill of canning and building a well stocked pantry. So....THANK YOU Jamie for doing this video. It is the BEST and most comprehensive video on RUclips!

    What an extremely comprehensive, informative explanation of canning. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I now feel comfortable enough to jump into this sometimes scary process. Now all I need is for my All American canner and accessories to arrive from Amazon. Keep the videos coming. Thank you again.

    I suggest you put about 1/2cup white vinegar in a small dish for cleaning the rims - then empty the dish in your canner after you finish using for the rims . It`s handier and the vinegar helps keep calcium off the glass jars

  • @krussell9995
    @krussell9995 2 года назад +13

    You did a fantastic introductory tutorial! I've been canning for over 10 years (wow I feel old 😆) and here are a few of my tips and preferences:
    1.) You can find wide mouth half pints, they are super squatty and I'm not sure what instance they'd be better than regular mouth half pints but they're out there (I just bought some a month ago because that's all that was available).
    2.) I only use mayonnaise jars for water bath foods, just because you know someone has put a butter knife in that jar and possibly compromised it and also I don't feel they have the same thickness as canning jars to stand up to pressure canning.
    3.) The Ball Complete Book Of Home Preserving is on my wish list, it is like the Ball Blue Book on steroids.
    4.) If you are in need of a new canning rack you can use old jar rings zip tied together. Google DIY canning rack and go to images.
    5.) I put my jars in my water bath and then bring the water up to temperature while I'm making my recipe. This way I know enough water is in my canner and it gets my jars heated to put food in. Bonus it sterilizes the jars if you leave them in long enough.
    6.) I use vinegar to wipe of the rims of jars when I am canning something sticky/sugary. Otherwise a wet rag is sufficient.
    7.) I have a Presto canner which uses a weight that makes noise as it rocks. This way I can do other things (folding laundry, dishes, sweeping, more canning prep) while canning because I can hear the weight rocking and if it gets too rambunctious or too lethargic I can go check on it. However, I never get out of earshot.
    8.) I used to use vinegar in my water to keep the white film off the jars, however I found it corrodes my rings much faster. I don't like to gift jars with a rusty ring and supplies are entirely too scarce to ruin what I have.
    9.) Despite what many will tell you, a Ball representative has commented you can heat up your canning lids even though it is not required any more. As long as they are not in boiling water (it will compromise the gasket layer) it will not hurt the lids. I just feel better going in with them warmed up, weird I know.
    10.) My #1 tip is be prepared. Research, plan and prep. It will take you longer to chop and measure than you think. It will take FOREVER for that water bath to boil and FOREVER for that pressure canner to depressurize.
    Now these are all just my personal preferences, and like Jaime I am no expert but I've done a ton of research. There are lots of good Facebook groups for beginner canners, and since 2020 more and more videos are popping up on RUclips with great information.
    This is a process, but I promise as you start seeing your shelves fill up with food you have canned yourself there is a pride and sense of security like nothing else!

    I just want to say this is by far the most informative video I have seen for beginners. I have been wanting to learn to save money (and not be wasteful) but had no idea where or how to start. Currently I am going to be making my own bread starting tomorrow (baby steps) while I save up and start buying my water bath canning supplies and books. Once I have a handle on that, and the funds I will get a pressure canning system. I had no idea you could can meats, I sure wish I had learned all this years ago. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!

    I live in Northern Ireland & most people have never heard of ‘Canning’. Thank you 🙏 - this was amazing detail which all ‘Newbies’ require ‘Big time’!! I’ve ordered the All American Canner - it was difficult to find as most sites were ‘sold out’ - costing me over £500.00 including postage, but after watching many videos, I feel more confident using this Model!... it will last a very long time!?
    Thank you for your precise & concise videos - I’ve found many other Presenters are soo long-winded, I just cannot bare to watch them! YOU are wonderful! Many thanks. I will be happy to contribute for information like yours. 🤗 xx
