Hi Achternaam,

Today, I thought I'd share a quick tip about jam & jelly.

Most jam or jelly recipes make a small batch. As a result, you may be tempted to double your recipe. However, it’s difficult to make double batches. If you want to make more at a time, have two batches going at the same time in separate pots. This way, you keep the ingredients to one batch per a pot, but you can still make more jars at a time!

The pages that follow also include other canning tips. :)

But first, I wanted to mention something else from Fillmore Container (SimplyCanning sponsor). They've got canning lids back in stock, including Ball regular mouth and wide mouth lids, as well as bulk wide mouth and regular mouth lids. That's exciting news after the prolonged shortage!

Volcano Stove Grill - Can't use your kitchen stove for canning or just don't want to heat up your kitchen in the summer? The Volcano stove or grill is one option for outdoor canning or emergency cooking, and it makes an easy portable camp stove as well.

Canning Pumpkin - I get questions on how to can pumpkin puree or pumpkin butter. My best advice is to can it in cubes. Puree it when you want to use it in your recipes. Easy! And more importantly, it’s safe too.

Canning Carrots - Carrots are a low-acid vegetable and must be processed in a pressure canner. This page has detailed information and step-by-step instructions (raw or hot pack, with optional sweet syrup).

Canning Soup - I've shared this page a few times this year, but since it's soup season, it seems like a good time to include it in the newsletter again. :)
