Thank you for doing a canning raspberries video. It was so hard to find anyone else that did that. I appreciate you taking the time to do the more delicate fruit.
I don't know off of the top of my head! You can check canning raspberries (and other fruits) with the National Center for Home Food Preservation website. They'll have the sugar/water ratios for syrups there.
Your jars are gorgeous!!! Years ago I used to can grape juice. It was delicious and the easiest thing I ever canned. Into hot jars add 1 to 11/2 cups grapes, 1/4 cup of sugar and top with boiling water, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace. Process for 20 minutes. The longer they sit the better so I waited until Christmas morning to open the first jar. I had a love/hate relationship with opening jars too. They're so beautiful to look at but SO MUCH WORK that I grudgingly opened them. LOL
@@VeganPrepperYou might have!!! I used Quart jars along with sweet tasting seedless Concord Grapes. I would do 36 quarts. Then one year decided to do them without sugar. Not good. LOL
Include sugar substitutes for those that are diabetic would be helpful. That yes you can substitute other sugars instead of useing staight white sugar.
It's good info to have for sure! I'm very wary of canning and want to only include what is approved in the recipe I'm using. I'm pretty sure the NCHFP site does have something that talks about those substitutions. And sorry for the late reply. I only just saw this comment!
I e been searching for a long time on how to can raw berries with only using honey. People always use sugar and it’s awful for you and the berries are already sweet enough. Do you know the recipe for making the syrup with honey only?
@@conniekenny7201 Oh, man, I hope it does! I'm almost through my last sugar from Costco and put a 25 pound bag of organic cane sugar from Azure in my cart for this month. I haven't tried it yet. Have you had a hard time with it? Or heard negative feedback?
@@VeganPrepper yes , we make a batch of raspberry leaf tea and put a small amount and my husband asked me not to get it again. I tried another sugar with them same thing, I am curious if I am just super unlucky 😂 if you think about it could you tell me how yours does, I would like to bulk buy some but now I am scared to
@@conniekenny7201 I will let you know!!! Just wondering are you mixing it hot or cold? It won't dissolve well in cold liquids. Sorry if you knew that already. For something like that you can make a thick sugar syrup using 1 part water, 1 part sugar. Boil it briefly and then bottle it and use it a little at a time to sweeten cold things. (The syrup I had leftover today will probably go into some lemonade.)
Jars are not supposed to be fully submerged in the water in the pressure cooker. It should be 2 to 3” of water in the pressure cooker before adding the jars. This is from the All American Pressure Cooker instruction booklet. That jar it failed probably because it was not tight enough by hand and got some water from the pressure cooker inside.
True! But I was water bath canning these items. I just used the pressure canner as a water bath canner. You remove the seal in the lid and don't add the weights.

Thank you for your video. How do you make a heavier syrup for long time storage?
I don't know off of the top of my head! You can check canning raspberries (and other fruits) with the National Center for Home Food Preservation website. They'll have the sugar/water ratios for syrups there.
You can also skip sugar, throw all the berries into a jar & add a pinch of a himalayan, grinded salt at the top.

Were those pint jars? That sounds fantastic! Similar to what I did with my sour grapes. I wonder if I actually canned some grape juice!

Can I do it without adding sugar?
Yes. Throw all the berries into a jar, and add a pinch of a himalayan, grinded salt at the top.

I don't know! Check the nchfp site. I believe there are ways to do it with just water, actually.
@@VeganPrepper Gasp! Really? I found some subs, but not water. I'm new to canning and it didn't explain it well.
Where do you get your bulk sugar? Organic?
It is organic. I was using Costco, but I've switched to Azure Standard. They both have good prices.
Do you find the one from Azure doesn’t desolve? Do you use the regular white sugar from Azure?
