Hi there , welcome to the channel and thank you so much for subbing ! I picked a bunch of black berries so have new videos with those coming up . Take care and ty for watching :)
I just found your chanel. I was looking for how to make blueberry jam. I did signed up, and I am looking forward to new canning, but also cooking. I will be watching for sure.
I do things the natural way. Daily Vitamin and sunshine, lots of sunshine! If you put a piece of regular parchment paper over your towel you won't ruin your pretty towels!
You can use any pot to hot water bath as long as you have something on the bottom to prevent the jars from breaking and you have at least 1 inch of water over the top of the jars in the pot
@@FannyUrbanhomesteader do i need a tight lid? And is it a rolling boil i need to keep going? Ps like your channel very much..definitely trying the orange extract too as very difficult and EXPENSIVE over here in the uk.....new subscriber. Thank you x
Thank you for sharing this I was searching for a recipe for canning frozen berries and wah lah there you are :) I have one question though I have certo pectin in the foil packets not sure how much to use?
The liquid certo ? Look on the pkg I think that may have different directions . I haven't used that in ages . If I recall it took 2 pkgs but I may be wrong .
If you are using pectin , you would probably want to use pomona's . If not using pectin you would need to bring it to 220 degrees . You could certainly try it , see if you like it . You can always try something and see if you like it . I like using pectin for a few reasons , some people like the boil it method which I find to sticky . Hope that helps
Hi there , if you use Pomona's Pectin you can use less sugar and it will set up . I order it directly from their website . Hope that helps , thank you for watching :)
New subscriber here. Glad I found your channel:) I wished I seen this before I did my frozen blueberry jam and jelly today. I did it a bit different, the jam looks like it will be ok but the jelly is watery. I don’t think I put in enough sugar. Any suggestions? Just leave it?
Thanks for subbing! Let it sit for a week or so . If it doesn't set up you can reprocess with more pectin if you want . Pomona's pectin is the best for jellies , never fails and you can control how much sugar you use if you choose .
Add chia seeds to your currently open jar. It will help thicken it nicely. I recently added 2 teaspoons to a jar and it is nice and thick. Seeds soften nicely and you won't even notice them.
4 cups prepared fruit 5 tbsp pectin , 1 tbsp lemon juice bring to a boil you cannot stir down , boil for 1 min after 1 min add 5 cups sugar , bring to a boil again you cannot stir down . Add to hot jars and wb 10 min
Thicker than ... ? You have jelly , jam , and preserves . I consider my jams to be closer to preserves because I kinda like more chunks of fruit . It gets thicker as it cools, but is spreadable . Hope that makes sense and answered your question lol . Wasn't sure exactly
Fanny Urbanhomesteader thanks. I see ppl stop cooking the jam when it is still liquidy and fill the jar. I cooked today and it was quite good and filled the jar and put in fridge and I felt at the top of the jar it was some liquid. I thought it will cool and thicken right? In two hours I had to ship it via post to someone so I don’t know if it was correct or not hahaah
When it comes to a boil you can't stir down , boil for 1 min while stirring , then into the jars . Sorry I left that out , hope it helps . Thank you for watching :)
@@leebiggers3358 That will depend on your stove . I'm using a flat top electric , a gas or coil would be different , can take up to 5 mins if I were to guess

Thanks for sharing!!
What a good idea! Im trying that one! Thanks
Hi did you pùt a lid on while you were steaming in your canning pot? Is it possible to just use a large stockpot with a lid?
You can use any pot to hot water bath as long as you have something on the bottom to prevent the jars from breaking and you have at least 1 inch of water over the top of the jars in the pot
@@FannyUrbanhomesteader do i need a tight lid? And is it a rolling boil i need to keep going?

@@FannyUrbanhomesteader Ty for the reply yes the liquid certa I just went to the store and bought some sure jell lol.
Will it turn out okay with just 2.5 cups of sugar? Thanks for sharing, young lady!

What's is that powder stuff she using again Hoosier hill. What is that?
It is the brand of pectin I use
What do it do?
Am I missing where the recipe is written down? Some places are hard to hear….so a written recipe is needed….
The full directions are at the beginning of the video . I posted the amounts on your other comment , hope that helps
Should jam be thicker?
Thicker than ... ? You have jelly , jam , and preserves . I consider my jams to be closer to preserves because I kinda like more chunks of fruit . It gets thicker as it cools, but is spreadable . Hope that makes sense and answered your question lol . Wasn't sure exactly

In two hours I had to ship it via post to someone so I don’t know if it was correct or not hahaah
how long does it take for it to thicken and how long do I leave in bath water
It is ready when cooled down , I waterbath it for 10 min . Hope that helps , thank you for watching
How long would shelf life for the jam
As long as the seal is good the jam is good . Should last several years
How long do you boil your fruit?
When it comes to a boil you can't stir down , boil for 1 min while stirring , then into the jars . Sorry I left that out , hope it helps . Thank you for watching :)
@@FannyUrbanhomesteader one other question. How long did it take to reach a rolling boil?
@@leebiggers3358 That will depend on your stove . I'm using a flat top electric , a gas or coil would be different , can take up to 5 mins if I were to guess
@@FannyUrbanhomesteader I use a gas range. Thanks for the information
Too much sugar😱
