I'm new to canning. I pressure canned 38 lbs of chicken and pork last week and had 100% success with the seals. I'm looking to add canning fruit and making jam to my canning arsenal. Videos like this really help a lot. I' especially appreciate the no sugar method. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Get some Clear Jel, to have on hand, I've had a few not thicken as well as they should, especially freezer jam, you just add a little and stir or shake well to see how much it thickens. It is made for pie filling, I canned 2 batches of apple pie filling last year. Must be good, hub has been using it as jam on his toast. That is not what I made it for. He can use the chunky apple butter and add some Apple pie spices. I do pies instead of cake, as I can control the sugar better, so it doesn't run my BS up. Like my mom use to say you can always add, but not subtract a spice or salt.
This was a wonderful video. I loved the background music! I think you brought my BP down! I hope to see more. About the best I’ve ever seen for blueberries.
I've never canned blueberries, only put them in the freezer. I used your method, and I'm soooo glad that I did. My blueberries turned out absolutely delicious! They're so much better than the frozen. I will ALWAYS use this method when possible. THANK YOU for sharing!
10 min all you need to can/boil these berries, also only 5 min is needed once the canning time is up before removing the jars. NEVER TIP THE JARS with the jar lifter when removing from the hot water it could cause a seal to not seal by tipping the jars. The water will be fine on top of the lid, once cooled and checked the next day the water can then be removed. Or place a dry towel over the jars a while after removed from water bath if it makes you feel better but not needed.
not being argumentative here but I didn't even know about the " not tipping jar " rule and have done so for at least 5 years of canning and I always get a seal. But now that I know about the "rulde" I dont do it. lol but is it really true??
@@brianhanrahan7561 thank you Brian for your response. I was just questioning if that rule is actually correct because in my ignorance, I was tipping the jars for the last 5 years and all my lids sealed.
@@nista4ever lots of people let their jars cool upside down No problem UNLESS the contents are still boiling. But most people accept it as a rule to let the jars cool upright.
I use distilled white vinegar to wipe ALL my jar rims, no matter what or how I am canning; I personally have better success since I started doing this😉👍
I would have added some of that heated water to the pan that the berries where boiled in as there was some great berry juice still in that pot and cleaned the pot a bit at the same time.
Thank you for making this video. I have too many berries in the freezer to eat before they start tasting funny. This is perfect...no sugar. Jesus bless.
Love your stove. I'm going to try to freeze some blueberries if I can get some northern berries. I would put a little of the water in the blueberry pan to rinse the rest of the juice out to top off jars. Beautiful.
Lovely video. Ty. Last year I did this with wild peaches and apples my kids brought home lol. I only added a little lemon juice and water. Was nice to just have preserved fruits I use later in recipes. Ty for sharing!
I forgot to comment on something you did that I have not seen anyone else do. You covered your jars once they were set out to cool off. Being new to canning, I had read that once the canning process is finished and the jars are removed from the canner they are to be placed where there are no drafts. With A/C or heat blowing off and on day and night, I thought, where in the world would that be? I've not watched tons of canning videos but quite a few and never saw one person cover their jars---but then I saw you cover the jars to protect from draft. So simple. Thanks so much for including that solution for a non-drafty spot to set your jars. Jesus bless.
I used to help my mother with canning and she always set the jars on a towel afterwards ( to soak the water dripping and to reduce contact with a cold counter) and covered with a towel to keep them from cooling too fast and possibly lose a seal. I do that still today.
@@richardhy6931 That's really good to know. I'm really new at this whole canning thing, but I definitely plan to try this out. I LOVE fresh blueberries and I always feel like I'm limited in my use of them once they've been frozen. I'm excited to see how this method opens up my options!
I loved your video, I like especially that you had mellow piano music playing when you were not talking and that your voice was calm and reassuring!, Great job!
I'm going to try this with some blackberries I just picked on my local London park. I've made some as jam and now want to preserve some for Winter. Thank you.
HI! I am new to canning but am enjoying more every time, whether it's water bath or pressure canning. Thank you for a very informative and well made video!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much for showing us how to do a “no sugar added” fruit canning video. Added sugar is a no no for us, so I really appreciate this! Do you think this method would work with blackberries too?
I really enjoyed your video ,thank you for being so thorough . I was wondering if I could can my frozen blueberries so , I can get more room in my freezer .
Great tutorial. Off sugar right now and I just finished picking the last of our blueberries. Prolific this year. I am going to use your sugar free method. I liked seeing the magnet tool that lifted the lids onto the jars. I assume you picked the blueberries yourself, by the scratches on lower arms. I have the same scratches !!
Thank you for this turorial. Going to buy a bunch of blueberries on sale tomorrow and can them like you did. I prefer to not add sugar. Looking forward to it! Can you can any fruit like this?
I've been trying to determine the necessity of this ingredient as well. Not just for blueberries, but also strawberries, cherries, apricots, pears, etc. We have a diabetic child and looking for simple canned fruit options. I've seen recipes with sugar, and others saying the sugar is only for 1) sweetening and 2) shape. I've also seen that blueberries are acidic enough that lemon juice is not necessary. Many bottled lemon juices have ingredients in them that trigger allergies and breathing conditions. Finding fruit canning recipes without excess sugar and artificial ingredients is a SUPER BLESSING! It's one of the reasons we have also taken time to learn from established canning pros... the Amish and Mennonites. I do not understand why ABC agencies insist on all the extras if generations of these people group have safely practiced food preservation without problem.
I had no idea berries could be bottled without adding sugar. I freeze different kinds, and yes my freezer is taken up with them. Do you use the berries for pancakes, muffins; etc...are they still solid?
Blueberries are one of the most acidic fruits, excluding lemons. So they are safe to waterbath or steam can WITHOUT adding lemon juice, unless you want that flavor. Hope this helps.
Hi Rambling Rose, I just canned for the first time and did the blueberries as you showed here (well, I did my best to follow you!). My lids all appear to have sealed. Is it ok that the berries in some of the jars have risen above the liquid? Thank you.
According to Ball they do, I have read that different blueberries can have different amounts of acids so I'm not sure about that. You can always add some lemon juice to this method.
Oh, I just realized my beginner mistake! I processed the berries in quarts not pints, not realizing I should have upped the 15 min processing time. Do I need to reprocess? Please respond to both of my comments/questions! Thank you
Thank you for this video. I saw for peach, some people use lemon water. Your method o not use lemon water for Barries. So wirh your method, could use without lemon water for any fruit too? even for more clear colors ones, like bananas, appels, peaches? Can I use this same method for vegetbals?
Because if you leave them on and the seal "let's go", you can't tell if it created a "false seal". That creates spoiled food. When you check your jars periodically to check the seals, you'll find a jar with a broken seal if you take the rings off. It's a safety precaution. God bless you & yours.🙏
Hi Missy, do you remember where you got your deep spoon you used to scoop your blueberries into the jars? I've looked everywhere for one like that, and can't find one.
It is a weight watchers measuring scoop. I don't remember where I bought it. It came in a set of three. 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup they are very handy I use them all the time.
They should be okay as long as the berries were heated all the way through. And if you put them in the jars hot and didn't let them cool down, they should be fine. But maybe use them up first. Blueberry cobbler would be awesome.
Thank you so much for this video! I am canning for the first time tomorrow and this video was exactly what I needed! Have you had any trouble with the blueberries molding or not staying good with this method? I would hate to waste 10lbs if blueberries!! ❤️
Hi Kalie, I just started using this method this year but I have canned a lot of berries and have not had any problems but I have only had them for a few months.
I’m not sure I caught how much time in the water bath… 15 min to come to a boil.. 15 min of boiling and what next? Thank you!! I’ve never canned before but excited to learn.
@@sandicupp5009 Sugar has some unique properties that mean it can preserve food. It is used in jams, jellies, conserves, relishes, chutneys, cures and all sorts of processes that help to prevent food from spoiling. How sugar preserves foods is quite simple, it is to do with how sugar and water interact. Sugar preserves by removing moisture from the cells of the food being preserved. WIthout moisture, it makes it much more difficult for spoilage organisms to grow.
There is conflicting information about what can be canned using water bath canning. Some say certain things can never be canned using water bath canning, while others say it is just a question of treating for long enough time. Could you cover what exactly can be canned using the water bath method?
Hi Daniel, basically high acid foods can be water bath canned and low acid foods need to be pressure canned. I always use the Ball Blue Book as my "authority" if I have questions on the proper way to can any particular thing. If you don't have a Ball Blue Book I would recommend getting one.
Hi Daniel! Both Ball and Amish have great canning books. If you've just begun canning, sir, I would wholeheartedly advise using the National Center for Home Food Preservation for educating yourself, and simple referencing: nchfp.uga.edu/ Have a great time, be safe, and may you and your family enjoy eating much better tasting and more nutritionally dense food from your own kitchen preservation!!
@@RamblingRoseFarmhouse thank you for this video. New to canning and preserving here. Question : can you leave the rings on after cooling or if they are sealed you don’t need them any longer? Can’t wait to try this when I’m able 🙏🌻🌻
@@Sunflower139 yes remove the rings so you don't have a false seal and it gets hidden with the ring on.... that's dangerous. Also you can leave the ring very loosely on to protect the jar edges...but best not to.
If I was going to add anything for more acid, it would be bottled lemon juice. For my tastes, it would compliment blueberries where vinegar would add a more pickled flavor.

Whole but some will be soft like any fruit
This was a great video.
Thanks very helpful.
Beautiful, Thank you!

2 questions. No lemon juice is needed? Also, how long did you heat berries in the first step? Thank you for this easy method.

I never tilt my jars when bringing them our of any canner as I've had issues with them not sealing when doing that.
@@booknerdmomma0950 .
Been canning for 40 years….this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone cover up the hot jars…😳
How come mine spoiled
Do blueberries have enough of their own acids to be safely canned with no lemon juice or citric acid?
According to Ball they do, I have read that different blueberries can have different amounts of acids so I'm not sure about that. You can always add some lemon juice to this method.
Just wondering if you can use a litter sugar
Of course!
Does this work for all fruit?
The PH of the fruit has to be acidic enough, otherwise lemon juice would need to be added to jars of fruits that are more alkaline.
Oh, I just realized my beginner mistake! I processed the berries in quarts not pints, not realizing I should have upped the 15 min processing time. Do I need to reprocess? Please respond to both of my comments/questions! Thank you
I read that if the pot has a thicker bottom there will be less of a chance of sticking or burning.
Probably so, I find that to be true in all cooking.
Thank you for this video. I saw for peach, some people use lemon water. Your method o not use lemon water for Barries. So wirh your method, could use without lemon water for any fruit too? even for more clear colors ones, like bananas, appels, peaches? Can I use this same method for vegetbals?
No you can't use this method for everything. I suggested getting a Ball Blue Book for instructions.
How long can you keep them and where do you store them when finished?
Store out of direct sun, and don't stack them on top of each other or anything else on top of them. Check for good seals when opening.
How do you use them? I want to can some tomorrow.
Whey do you take the ring off after it is all done?
Because if you leave them on and the seal "let's go", you can't tell if it created a "false seal". That creates spoiled food. When you check your jars periodically to check the seals, you'll find a jar with a broken seal if you take the rings off. It's a safety precaution. God bless you & yours.🙏
When you open the jar, can we use just the bleuberries, like take them out of the water or is it like in a syrup?
It is more like they are in a blueberry juice, but you can strain the juice off. I hope that helps.
Hi Missy, do you remember where you got your deep spoon you used to scoop your blueberries into the jars? I've looked everywhere for one like that, and can't find one.

Can you use frozen blueberries in this canning method?
I haven't tried it yet but I plan to give that a try.
what kind of results did you get once a can was opened. Is it a mushy mess?
Not at all mushy!!! I wondered myself. To me it was the texture of the inside of a fig newton !!!
I canned some pts and had 3 qts at the same time, 15 minutes, do you think the qts will be ok? They were blueberries.
They should be okay as long as the berries were heated all the way through. And if you put them in the jars hot and didn't let them cool down, they should be fine. But maybe use them up first. Blueberry cobbler would be awesome.

What is diabetic sugar?
@@LaydeeLia sweet and low or other sugar replacements
No extra acid necessary?
That's my question... no lemon juice added?

They are acidic
Not according to the Ball blue book directions.
No lemon juice?
You can add it.
Can you do this with other berries and fruits?
Of course. I always make apple sauce like this. No sugar added.

Pectin is a thickener intended for jams & preserves.

Can you tell me where I can find written directions..... I have to do this!!!!
Ball Canning Book
Send it to yourself on messenger the video
just wondering why you even heat up your berries...could you just not pour hot or boiled water over them in the jars, seal and water bath can????
Heating them first gives better results, some say. They have air in them and heating removes some air and this lets more berries fit in a jar.
I’m not sure I caught how much time in the water bath… 15 min to come to a boil.. 15 min of boiling and what next? Thank you!! I’ve never canned before but excited to learn.
