On SimplyCanning, I’ve received lots of (excellent) questions about home canning, so we’re answering several more in this email! First, what happens when you’re taking your jars out of the canner and they start popping immediately? What do you do? What does that popping sound when canning mean? Learn about why your jar lids are popping here. Second, Do you ever hear someone say “finger tight” when putting the lids on your canning jars and then wonder just what that means, anyway??? Here is a video demonstration on finger tight canning lids. Finally, the last canning question pertains to moisture in canning jars: “You mentioned keeping your jars and lids warm in hot water before you fill them. Is there a problem with the moisture on the lids and the jars?” Learn about moisture inside canning jars here. |
