Equipment

  • Water
  • Canner
  • Canning jars pint, quart, or half gallon size
  • Canning lids & rims
  • Ladle
  • Funnel

Instructions
 

  • Wash your jars
  • Using a stockpot, fill with the amount of water you are planning to can. Set on stove and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare your canner. Fill with enough water that it will cover the jars by 1 inch. Set on stove and heat up.
  • Wash the lids and put them in a pot with water, put it on the stovetop and heat up. Heating the lids seems to help them seal better.
  • Ladle hot water into jars slowly, leaving 1/2" headspace.
  • Adjust lids and rims.
  • Lower into the canner, set the lid on top, and bring to a boil.
  • Process pints, quarts, and half gallon for 20 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off, take the lid off the canner and allow it to cool.
