wow the best video I have seen thus far with canning, I have had all my equipment for a while now and just been scared to do it but you made it look so easy. thank you!

[maryhull]

Awesome . To the point, no waffling, understandable and concise . A great intro into canning . Thank you so much .

[lizromero]

I have been trying to learn and this is by far the best video to understand all of the processes for beginners. Thank you

[doubledutchclutch]

Thank you so much! This was BY FAR the clearest demonstration of water bath canning that I have seen on YouTube. No one else shows whether one should fill the jars with water when one heats them in the canner. Even my Ball cookbook did not not make that clear. It seems logical of course because without filling the jars with water they just tip over because they are too buoyant, but I wanted to follow the directions in the book exactly and without that explicit instruction there was no way to know. Even the picture in the Ball cookbook was unhelpful. Again, thank you!!!

THANK YOU! I’ve been looking for straightforward, easy directions on canning and this is it!

You are marvelous. Answered all my questions. I did not want to invest in a canner just to find out that I rarely used it or, it's just not for me. Now You have taught me how to substitute a rack in my stock pot. My first food will be sugar free pickle relish which is quite expensive in the grocery store. I also plan to try spiced apples which cost about $4 in the store and only has 1 apple in the jar! I am on it doggone it.

Omgoodness this is the FIRST place/video/website where canning is just told simple, cut and dry. Everyone else makes it sound SOO scary and complicated. Thank you for this. Now I feel confident to try canning some food. I know I should never reuse lids though. Thanks for this video. 👍🙂

Very informative - best video I've watched on the subject - Thank you !!

This was the best canning vid I've watched!! In other vids, they are not covering the jars with water. Only the bottom. I feet more comfortable doing it the way you did it.
