Help Please – Tikka Masala

I would love to can a base for tikka masala. Can you help me figure out if this would be safe? I think the chicken curry recipe in the Ball book would be my starting point, but here’s the changes I would want to make: – omit chicken (I would add this whenever I open [...]

Upgraded

After my presto had such jarring (get it! lol) pitting issues, I took the plunge and upgraded. Haven’t used this yet beyond a steam test, and am a little intimidated by the lack of gasket. I’ve watched a ton of videos and am hoping to test drive it this weekend. Anyone have any tips or [...]

Bananas

Are there any approved and tested recipes for bananas or that include bananas? Asking for a friend… Who loves bananas… But grows too many… 🙂 I’ve done some internet searching and haven’t found any. I know the goal is acidic recipes which bananas are not. I’m also aware I’ve the other methods of preserving bananas, [...]

Is this mold?

I just pulled out some blueberry jam from last year. I followed Ball's recipe to the T. I have 3 jars like this, completely sealed. I wonder if it's crystals because it's not fuzzy. by Hotsaucehallelujah

Is this mold?

I canned thess chicken thighs with water on accident and it had a good seal but when I opened it, this black string was on the lid. The chicken is not discolored it smells fantastic and it's been 30 days since I canned it. The white is fat. I included a pic the inside of [...]

3-5 year old applesauce cans, still sealed. Still good?

I was cleaning out storage today and I found two unopened mason jars of applesauce that I made and canned fresh several years ago (no less than three years but no more than five). The jars are still in their sealed, un-popped state, and there's no visible mol…

Turning Crushed Tomatoes into Marinara Sauce?

Hello! Over the summer, I had canned a bunch of crushed tomatoes, but I don't use them as I had hoped. I'm low on marinara sauce, and I was wondering if there was a way I could turn them into marinara sauce? I love the Ball Oven Roasted Marinara recipe, and I was hoping to [..…

Jar “fullness” after processing

I thought I raw packed this stir fry beef perfectly, they were pretty tightly packed with 1 inch headspace. I didn't add any water or stock to the pint jars but clearly there was a lot of air pockets. I was surprised to see they are only half full after processing. Are these still shelf [...]

Pectin Question

Can I substitute any pectin for another brand? For example, can I substitute Hoosier Farms pectin for Sure Jell? (Regular for regular, no low sugar swaps I know) Are Sure Jell canning recipes considered safe? Anybody have a great pineapple jelly recipe?! I found one on the Sure Jell site, but will need a backup [...]

Lid Issue

I was canning some broth today, and one of the kids came out looking like this. They are still cooling down, but I’m just going to assume this guy isn’t sealing and he’s already been allocated to the fridge. I was just wondering what could have caused this. Did I not screw the ring on [...]

Amount of peppers by weight in pepper jelly?

Hi! I was planning to make the Golden Pepper Jelly, and I was hoping that someone had done a weight conversion on this recipe. My bell peppers are huge so I'd feel better if I had a weight for them vs cups! Or if anyone recommends a different recipe? I have various colored bells…
