Important Instructions


** Always boil your jars, lids and seals just before you use them. Keep your jars warm in the oven while you prepare your recipes.

** Waterbathing consists of pouring enough water over the canning jars in the canning pot to cover the jars by at least a half inch. "Bathing time" is when the water is boiling with the jars in place. "Bathing time" varies by recipe.

** Once done bathing place jars on a towel covered table. Let sit undisturbed for 24 hours. { You will hear the pop as each jar cools and the seal sets }

Here are 2 of my most requested recipes.



Best Salsa EVER

3 cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped white onion
2 med Jalapeno's about 1/2 cup chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 tsp canning salt
1/3 cup vinegar

Dash of Hot Pepper powder, for those that like it HOT.

** Mix ingredients and simmer over med/low heat for 30 minutes,
Ladle into warm canning jars and water bath for 30 minutes.





Strawberry Jam or Blackberry Jam....

3 quarts Strawberries or Blackberries cut and mashed
9 cups Sugar
SureGel powder.

** Cook on medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then up to high for a continual boil 15 minutes to thicken. Ladle into warm canning jars and water bath for 15 minutes.
