I would rather have jars of water sitting on the shelf rather than empty jars. This is a great idea. Thanks
Good point.
Great practical idea. I'm having a little chuckle because I just sat through a video watching water boil.
I have also canned water with a white wash cloths in it so I will have a sterile rags for emergencies. You can also make saline and pressure can with a wash cloth.
That’s a fantastic idea
As I watched, had similar thoughts Cindy. Normal Saline great to have on hand. Flushing wounds, but can also drink in dire situation if 0.9%.
That is such a good idea!!! Thank you😃😃😃
I wish I could remember what channel I saw this on... instead of canning a dedicated run of water, fill in the empty spaces when canning other items with a jar of water. When I can meat or beans, there is usually an empty space in my canner because the package size only gives me 6 full quarts and I don't want to open another package. So I put a quart of water in to fill the canner to capacity. Thank you, Toni, for all you do to help so many people. Bright Blessings.
Sutton's Daze has done this to fill gaps.
I cannot believe I never thought of this! Thank you so much for bringing this up.
Our farm is next to a water shed, as a result, I have two fresh water springs, both tapped to fill ponds. In the 1950’s it was popular to fill ponds near road ways for fire trucks to pump. I think the previous owner got paid to construct one, the other was meant for cattle and horses, it’s in the middle of a field. The springs still run in the dead of winter, often having green grass around them as the water temp is a constant 52F. I tell folks they can fill up their water jugs anytime, it’s good water we had it tested. I re-fill water bottles to save on buying water bottles. We have a house filter for sediment, but our water is pure and has minerals. We are fortunate to buy a farm that was never near coal mining once upon a time! But when things get covered with snow and ice, being at the end of the power lines sucks, our power goes off often and we don’t have a 220 generator to pump our well. And during August, when there is little rain, our well sometimes runs dry and it turns the water orange...yuck. We keep non-potable water in jugs, to wash with and flush the toilet, but to drink? I think your idea of pressure canning water is a very good idea! Instant fresh drinking water, perfect! 😃
I've been canning water since 2017. If I have a few jars of veggies or meat to can, I will fill the rest of the canner with quarts of water. I also use gallon jars too. Nice to have on hand.
Very clever! I would have never thought of that, but in an SHTF medical emergency, sterile water would be priceless. At the very least, you have potable water for drinking.
I also pressure can water anytime I have an empty space in my canner!
Love you Toni, but even I wondered if you had finally snapped, until thought of it's uses and how to take process to normal Saline. Cindy took it next level to sterile cloth, a great
idea I thought.
If you have stacks of empty jars they may as well contain water. I haven't pressure canned water but I do boil water and reuse my lids for water storage. It's safe to eat, drink ,cook with etc. It is not sterile. By doing this I have water storage but am not wasting a lid so when I need to fill a jar with food there is no pain in dumping the water out to use a jar.
Never thought to do something like this. Beats having to boil contaminated water and hope it's decontaminated enough in a "boil water" emergency. Brilliant!
Awesome thank you for the idea
There's just me and my husband so I don't can a huge amount of jars at once. To fill the void in the pressure canner I put water in jars to take up the space. You are so right, sterilized water may come in handy for all kind of things.
I did the same but with well water. Great minds think alike 🙂.
Every time I have 7 empty quarts I pressure can water. I do the same with my 1/2 gallon jars- like you I can only get four 1/2 gallon jars in the canner. This does two things, it truly sterilizes the interior of my jars and it gives me clean sterilized water for use if we have a power outage (we have a well). It keeps all of my jars in use and when it comes time when I need the jars I empty the water, and I have jars to use.
I have done this for year’s, everyone has called me a “nut”😂. The jars already are taking up space so might as well put to good use!
I have never heard of this before but it is a great idea. Thanks
Great idea Toni and I believe one of your commenters had a great idea to can a white cloth in with at least some of them I think that would be a great thing.
Whenever I have extra room in my canner, I add jars of water for first aid.
Great idea! I have never thought of this. I'm going to do it right away.
Fantastic idea! I have some Dominion jars like yours and I'm going to can some water. I'm going to add a white cloth like Cindy said in the comments.
Good for you Toni! Luckily we have no issues and live close to one of the purest water sources in Ontario if need be. We currently use our Berkey for canning, cooking, drinking and brushing our teeth. I suppose if you lived in a city condo or apartment on a higher floor
and there was an emergency, it would be difficult to haul and filter for more than a day or two. Any time I don't have a full load I always can water and store. Presto was kind enough to gift me a jiggler when I went to order that along with another rack. When speaking with the customer service rep.,( who had the virus, and sounded awful) I told her that when the Lockdowns were on I missed my eye injections and trouble reading my gauge as a result of further deterioration. What a nice surprise. Now I can listen instead of trying to focus on that gauge! I must ask Toni - have you ever tried/planted black garlic? Its available at a supplier near Stouffville in 2 weeks but I know nothing about it. Thanks. Take care.
Such a great idea!! Will definitely use some of my empty jars for this!
This is such a great idea!
I can up water as needed to make up 7 quarts if I'm short when canning. I also use filtered water and store empties that way. They take up space anyway so might as well have emergency water in them!
Hi Toni - a wonderful idea that people may not have thought about. I had a day off today - needed the rest, tomorrow I’m back at it.
I wish that I had more jars left. There is no reason to have empty jars when they could be canned with water reusing old lids. If you need the jars later for something better you pour it out. You could also once open pour water in a clean used water bottle,though it would no longer be sterilized it would become unbreakable. Perfect for times when there are boil water alerts.
Super!!! Great idea to have sterized water put by!!
You are one smart cookie! This is a great idea. God Bless you and yours.
I would have the jars sitting on a towel to help avoid thermal shock. Great video.
Very sensible prep
Thank you for posting your video!♥
Thank you for watching!
Toni, great video. Thanks, Cheryl from Kansas City, MO
Good lesson on water bathing
Good idea to can water. When canning hot food in hot water, I first fill the sink with a few inches of hot water. Then I place the jars in the sink while filling with food, to prevent breakage.
I started canning water last year because 1) We are on a well and lose water when we lose power and 2) I may as well make good use of my empty jars.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Good idea God bless
I've never seen those size jars, good find on your part. really appreciate the videos. thanks
they seem to only be available in Canada...older stock though, no longer manufactured.
Thank you for your video.
Two words, ... "Storage space", as in, .. it's full!
I was "caught" canning up another "something" I can't remember what now, and what was said was this, "Where will you put it!" and it wasn't a question, it was an accusation.
I ignore such things as such things deserve ignoring.
It's better to say nothing and be though of as an idiot, then to say something and prove it's true.
I've been using the same mason jars of water as filler for some time now. There's no way it's not sterile.
OK, Have a great one.
Toni just an FYI. Your boiling water is going thru your plastic funnel. Hot water and plastic is not a good combination. Never microwave in plastic or put hot water in plastic bowls etc.
I have several quarts of water canned up too. I started doing it to test used jars that I acquired at yard sales or some we found in an old shed. I used my tattler lids since they are reusable and I am not wasting a regular lid on testing jars. I dumped out a couple and then realized - why? Why not just leave the water in them until I need the jars and that way I have sterile water - shelf stable and ready to drink if I need it in an emergency.
Your water, not matter how long you have it, will never taste like plastic. I hate getting the odd old bottle of water and having it taste like plastic smells 😠 nothing beats glass as a food storage container. You can find a 100 year old bottle, clean it well, and it will be fine for use.
I can up pints and quarts of water when I have extra space so the jars don't rattle around.
Yes, that works too!
hi Toni...this is my weekend project
Good Idea to have some on hand...I have actually been using mine to irrigate after surgery!
@@HerHomesteadSkills speedy recovery!
I can water as well. No telling when you will need some sterile water.
Can jars 1 or 2 at a time when my canner isn't full.
If you have storage space what a great idea.
I understand you live in Nova Scotia. I heard on the UA-cam weather channel, Ryan Hall Y’all, that hurricane Fiona might be heading your way. Please be safe!
Thank You, but I am far away from Nova Scotia!
My well has coliform and ecoli . If I boil it will it kill that stuff, if I presure can water will that kill the bacteria. I assume it would, just asking.

Hi Tony, I'm not sure what that is accomplishing, if it's city water like in the US, the chlorine in it should have it sterilized already, but you'll probably still have the chlorine, fluoride, and all the other nasties they put in it. I would simply distill it. That's just my two cents worth.
Sterile water for emergencies, like wound treatment or if it's needed for other health conditions, or, as we've had a few in the US, in case of a "boil water emergency", like if a treatment plant fails or there's a chemical spill that pollutes the water supply.
In a SHTF situation or a invasion. 1 of the first things the SOB will do is make the city water unusable either with chemicals or biologics..
I am saving rainwater in barrels worst case dunp some chlorine and filter it to make it drinkable.
Is there anything wrong with canning distilled water?
no, nothing at all!
How did your pumpkin pie turn out from using your canned milk? Thank you!
The same as when I use commercially canned milk
Can I do just a hot water bath??
Water bath canner does not get the high pressure temperature needed.
I have a canning book from the 40's put out by Kerr, they have a temperature and time table for every type of food. It lists oven, water, and pressure canning times.
So I don't get why there is now this stigma to use and oven or water bath to can. An oven can get temps up to 250 degrees same as a pressure canner does easily and it's all about giving enough time to heat all the way through the can. The times for oven and water bath were much longer than a pressure canner is all.
@@sinsinnomore5555 I think it causes the jars to weaken by putting them i n the oven. Jars maybe years ago were probably made stronger then today. Just an idea.
If you can just boil water to make it safe to drink….I don’t see a problem with water bathing…..botulism isn’t an issue with using tap water…..
nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/home_canning_water.pdf
QUESTION PLEASE:: We don’t hv a pressure canner yet. Will try boiling tap water and then WaterBath Can in qt jars for 15 min. The USDA says WBCan of 10+ will sterilize jars. Thoughts??
nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/home_canning_water.pdf
@@HerHomesteadSkills Thank you 💕
Can I use any type of glass jars?
You need to make sure there are new lids and bands on the jars. Even speciality screens type lids. Have to be unused lids.
They need to be canning jars... specifically made for canning...you can't use an old mayo jar or pickle jar...
@@carolstorchlightcottage6269 that's not true. I've been reusing shop bought produce jars for pressure canning with no issues. Well, maybe where you live those jars are crap but here in ire they're perfect for canning.
We have awful tap water. Is water from a reverse osmosis tap safe to use?
I don't know, never had one myself!
Did you start with muninciple, treated tap water or from your own well?
I don't have a well!
you said tap water is that city water or well water?
I'm NOT on well water!
I have a distiller and use it for all drinking and cooking. If power goes out....thank you for this great idea!
