Canning Tomatoes for Beginners - Water Bath Canning

Подробнее о видео

Elaina shares the basics of using a water bath canning set-up for canning tomatoes. She explains how to blanch tomatoes to remove the skin, how to prep the jars, and how to properly pack the canning jars for sealing. Elaina uses Ball Canning jars and lids, and uses a recipe from the Ball Blue Book Canning Preserving book.

The Ball Blue Book Canning Preserving book is about ~ $10-12.

Some additional tips for Canning Beginners:
- Processing times will very based on the recipe and size jar you are using. It is important to follow a recipe from a reputable company or website.
- You should allow at least 12 hours for cooling before checking the seal of your jars.
- If your jars don't seal properly the first time, you can reprocess them. Make sure to clean the rims of the jars again and tighten the lid to fingertip tight.

About Us:
We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our mid-20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.
Something that differentiates us from other YouTube homestead channels is our transparency on the cost of our projects - there is usually a breakdown right in the description!

We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7pm EST, and post daily on Instagram and Facebook @masondixonacres!
