Directions
Canning in 3 easy steps: 1. Prepare your gear. Wash & heat your jars and lids. 2. Create your recipe. Use a tested recipe for home canning, see the Ball® Blue Book® guide to preserving or freshpreserving.com. 3. Preserve your foods. Fill your clean jars. Boil in water bath or pressure. Canner for time specified in recipe. Ball® complete home canning instructions: What you need. Canning recipe - see Ball Blue Book® guide or freshpreserving.com for recipes*. Fresh ingredients. Jars and two-piece lids (lids and bands). Prepare your gear & create your recipe: Wash jars, lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse well. Jars must be kept warm until ready to use, in order to minimize risk of breakage when filling with hot food. You can heat them in the pot of simmering water, or in a heated dishwasher. Prepare food using fresh ingredients and a tested recipe for home canning. Waterbath canning: To can: Tomatoes, salsa, pickles, jellies, jams, fruits (whole, sauces, chutneys, pie fillings, etc.) and other high-acid foods. You also need: Ball® 21-quart waterbath canner or equally large stockpot with a Ball® canning rack, or for small batches, a Ball® canning Discovery Kit™. Prepare jars: Fill pot with enough water to cover jars with at least 1 inch of water and heat to simmer (180 degrees F). Fill each jar with prepared food. Follow canning recipe for correct fill level. Each jar needs space between the food and the rim (headspace) to allow for food expansion. Tip: air bubbles inside jar can impact cooking effectiveness. Remove bubbles by sliding a small non-metallic spatula inside the jar, gently pressing food against the side of the jar. Wipe any food from the rims of jars. Center new lid on the jar, then twist on band just until "fingertip tight." Ensure bands are not over-tight - air inside jar must be able to escape during canning. Process jars: Place filled jars into rack, then lower into simmering water, ensuring jars are covered by 1 inch of water. Cover with lid, and heat to steady boil. Boil jars for the time specified in recipe, adjusting for altitude (see chart). Turn off heat and let jars stand in water for 5 minutes. Remove from water and cool jars upright on wire rack or towel on countertop for 12 hours. Tip: after removing jars from the tanner, do not re-tighten or over tighten bands that may have come loose during canning, so as not to interfere with the sealing process within the first 12 hours. Check the seal: Press on center of cooled lid. If jar is fully sealed, the lid will not flex up or down. If the lid flexes, the jar did not seal properly. You may refrigerate for immediate use. Or for directions on how to safely re-process the jar, see freshpreserving.com or the Ball Blue Book® guide for detailed instructions. Store sealed jars in pantry for up to 1 year. Jars may be stored without bands, or you may clean underside of bands to ensure no moisture is trapped during storage. Enjoy your homemade food or give as a gift. For pressure canning instructions please see freshpreserving.com or the Ball Blue Book® guide.
