Just a heads up, I tried using both 100% orange juice AND from concentrate. I did NOT care for the canned concentrate and will stick with 100% OJ. The flavor of the canned OJ concentrate almost had a bitter taste to it. Not sure if that's from the fillers or not to make the concentrate.
I've passed up a bunch of O.J. that's been in sale because I didn't have room for it in my refrigerator. (I drink a lot of milk. 3 - 4 gallons a week) and though I live alone refrigerator space is usually at a premium. So this is great to know! Thank you.
Hi Jim. I'm glad this was helpful. Thank you for watching. 😊
VERY USEFUL, THANK YOU! I didn't realize I could use my pressure canner for steam canning, but the way you explain it, it makes perfect sense!
Hi VagabondAnne. I'm glad this was helpful and thank you for watching! 😊
I use pressure canner as a steam canner also
@@OuttheBackDoor 😳. So, you don't need to worry about the pressure, just make sure that you have a steady stream of steam and process for the any of the that you would normally do in a wbc? Or am I totally confused? Thank you!
Jim, you totally understood it! 😊
I'll be canning this next week. I'm so glad to know steam canning is possible with my pressure canner. I had just added to my Amazon cart a steam canner. I am going to delete that and save my money. So thankful for the information. ~ I just wanted to add - I love the idea have having a citrus item in my pantry. If things get really bad, I want the security of knowing I have a source of vitamin C in my shelf-stable pantry. Thank you again..
Hi Robin. I didn't have room for another canner and if the PC will do the stream canning, I'm all about it! I rarely WB can any longer. You mentioned vitamin C. Be aware that you are destroying most of the vitamins in ALL fruits, vegetables, and juices when they are subjected to heat. That's why many times you'll see on bottles "fortified with XX" because they are trying to replace the vitamins that were destroyed in the processing. Just a reminder. 😊
@@OuttheBackDoor I'm new to canning. Started June of 2022.Thanks for letting me know. I'll just buy vitamins. LOL!
😂 It's nice to have juice on hand! This applies to ALL the canned foods we buy at the grocery store. Steaming fresh veggies is the most beneficial way to eat our veggies. Sometimes that's better than eating them raw because it's easier for us to digest. BUT! WELCOME to the world of canning! I hope you're enjoying it and having fun! 😊
Love the out takes lol.
Hi MunkeyUK. 😂 Thanks. I used to edit them all out but decided to leave some in here and there so ya'll know I mess up! 😊
I just canned oJ today. Been doing that for about a year now. Love doing it so I can have at any time.
Hi Charlene. That's awesome! I don't drink lots of OJ, but I love having a jar to grab from the pantry when I do want it just like you do! 😊
Does the orange juice turn brown/ dark over time?
@@growingaHome I’ve had so store bought do that.
Mine hasn't. But I haven't had any in the pantry more than a year.
Charlene, did you can OJ concentrate or 100% pure OJ?
I would love to see all the cool stuff in her pantry 😊
Hi Shindana. Sorry, no pantry tours. 😉 But you can take a guess if you look at my canning playlist.
Love your style ❤😊
Thank you, Susan. 😊
Hey Mickey! I am so happy to see you back! Hope your knees are doing great. I love this idea of steam canning. Could you do that with everything you were going to water bath? Or is this process only good for a certain items? again, I’m so happy to see you back and putting out videos! 👩🍳
Hi Debi. So nice to hear from you! You may steam can anything you would normally WB can. I rarely WB can anymore! Let's not talk about my knee... 😭 Have a wonderful day! 😊
I was wondering the same thing, thanks for asking!
@@sclark22223 Hi S Clark. It's very rare that my water bath canner is used anymore. I generally do large batches of everything so I like that I can double stack in my PC while using a small amount of water and I'm not actually pressure canning. So much more economical! ☺
Yes I do! Although videos that I share making and canning preserves, I usually do WB canning for the presentation. For the most part anything I would WB can, I now steam can. To be honest, I don't think I know where my WB canner is. 🤷♀️
If I'm remembering my directions correctly on my steam canner you can can anything you WB as long as it doesn't go over 30 minutes!
Keep em coming I am enjoying learning from you GOD BLESS !!!
Hi SP. Thank you and God bless you! 😊💖
Good morning Mickey, Happy Mother’s Day! I am going to do this today. We may need it if we can’t get fruit someday. Lemon juice too. Thank you for the video, you always have the best.
Hi Kricket. Thank you! I enjoy juice, so canning my juices (all sorts of fruits from our trees and bushes) may be a luxury some day. As you mentioned, we may not have the availability to fresh fruits. One thing I will mention because I've had many ask, any time you process fruits and juices, you are losing nutritional value. That's why so many commercial juices are fortified with vitamins. I also make sure to have bottles of vitamins on hand. Even if the best by date is past, they will supply a person with needed nutrients in an time of emergency. I think you understand. 😊
Thank you for showing me this.
Hi Monica. I'm glad this was helpful. Thank you for watching. 😊
I just love your videos!
Hi Laura. Thank you and I appreciate you watching! 😊
Great video... love the bloopers!
Hi Pink Southern-Girl. Thanks! 😉😊
So glad you did this so now I can do it.
Hi Shirley. I'm glad this was helpful! 😊
I got get more orange juice so I can do this again. I only have two pints left,I thought it turned out so good, I really didn’t think it bothered with the taste and texture of it. I’m a diabetic so it nice to keep around my place,a couple of my friends in our apartment building are also diabetic so that will help them if they need it,they know that I am keeping it on hand.
Hi Alfreda. That's a great reason to have canned OJ on hand all the time. And that's very thoughtful of you thinking about the others in your building that may need it too, especially if yours or their blood sugar really drops. This is an excellent testimony as to why keeping your pantry stocked with a variety of things could help medically as well! 😊💗
@@OuttheBackDoor my sour cream looks awesome, I will put one in the fridge tomorrow for a couple days then try it. I been learning so much here from you and, others on UA-cam.Thank you
Alfreda, I'm so happy for you. That's great! And I'm glad the videos have been helpful. 😊
It loses ALL the vitamin C, you're drinking juice without vitamins.
New kids are thinner,Glad I have older ones
That they are! I've got some older ones too that I bought many years ago. I stashed them away for safe keeping. I generally use my Tattler lids. 😊
Very useful information. Thanks
Hi Red Gingerbread Pam. Thank you, and I appreciate you watching ! 😊
We love orange juice but do not like the waste if we don't drink it in time before it spoils. I can can pints and still save with buying larger quantities.
Hi Carol. I was canning it in quarts to begin with but I'm the only one drinking it so now I do pints myself. 😊
I’m so going to make more of this.
Hi Alfreda. I make sure that my pantry is stocked with it! 😊
Thank you so much!
Hi Christie. You're very welcome. 😊💗

Thank you for the video! So awesome to know we can do more these days:) What is the Shelf Life on these? Just in case we live off grid and need stuff to last a longer time?
Hi Harmony Hill Homestead. So far the longest shelf life I've had in the pantry is close to a year. I'm rotating through it at that speed. Speculating, I would say *at least* 2 years? I hope this helps. 😊
@@OuttheBackDoor tha k you!!
You're very welcome 😊
This method is new to me as I've never heard about it but it's amazing.
Can I please ask how long is this shelf stable for
Thank you so very much for sharing this method
Hi Cherriebaars. Cute name! The longest I've had canned OJ in the pantry is about 2 years. I hope this helps. 😊
@@OuttheBackDoor thank you, I'm in Australia and all types of canning is kinda new to us down here. I'm in a race to learn everything I can to then pass on to my adult kids in the hope they can not only survive but thrive the incoming pre-planned devastation.
Once again I truly appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share with strangers. xxx
@cherriebaars3971 it's my pleasure to help and if you've got any questions, just ask. I'll try to help the best I can. I'm glad you're prodding your children to learn as well! Preserving food is a necessary skill to have especially in the times were living in. Have a blessed day. Mickey 😊
Thank you so much! New subbie here. Take care
Hi Peppermint Home, Crafts, & Thrift. Cute name and welcome to the channel! I appreciate you joining me on my journey. 😊
Can you elaborate on what you mean by siphoning if you raise the temp too quickly on “cool” jars? Thanks
Hi Colleen. Siphoning is when the liquid starts coming out of the processed jar between the rim and lid while processing. This can lead to seal failures and/or micro particles between the rim and lid causing a micro leak which could eventually lead to a seal failure in the pantry. When I've had siphoning on any of my jars and the jar lid feels sealed, after removing my bands and washing up my jars, I'll make sure those are in the front for me to use right away in the pantry. A siphoned jar may not lose its seal for a few months down the road and on occasion the seal doesn't fail. If you notice the liquid level is lower in specific jars, it's quite possible it siphoned. I hope this helps. 😊
Never heard of canning oj have you did this befor
Hi Debbie. Yes I have, many times! It's listed in my old Ball Canning Book even using fresh squeezed OJ. 😊
I WB meat products for the 3 hr timeframe. Would I be able to steam meats for the 3 hrs, safely? Love this video! Ty
Hi Julie. In theory that should work, but you want to make sure there's an adequate amount of water in the PC so your canner doesn't run dry during the process and warp it. My question for you is if you're going to use a PC to steam can in place of WB, why don't you just PC the meat instead?
Oh Mickey....your bloopers just about killed me!! Thanks...it was just what I needed girl.
Just never thought of doing orange juice and thank you so much for telling me about the concentrate having that not acceptable taste. That is normally what I buy.
Also, as always, you have taught me to do something else with my canner other than pressure can. A friend bought a steamer. Sort of wanted one but didn't figure it was in my budget just now. And look what my friend has shown me today. You the best, Mickey. Thanks and Jesus bless you always.
Hi Sandra. I'm glad you had a laugh and that this was also helpful! God bless you my friend. 😊💗
So you are just letting the canner vent steam for 15 minutes, correct? Also, can you put everything in cold and start cold, get to venting and go from there?
Hi experimentalbaker. You are correct. I'm venting for the required time of water bath canning, 15 mins. Yes, you may start with everything cold, but when you turn your heat on, raise it gradually. Raising the heat too quickly may cause siphoning or temperature shock and broken jars. Once the PC starts venting a good stream of steam, start your timing and turn the burner off when the time is up. I hope this helps. 😊
Mikki do you make sourdough bread using thr=e the sour dough starter. If so please do a video on hoe you do it.
Hi Mattie. Yes, I make a sourdough starter and bread. I'll put that on my to do list. 😊
So, you are not putting a weight on your steam vent? Just bring slowly up to boil and let it stay venting a steady stream of 15 minutes before turning off heat. Then let it completely cool before removing canner lid? Thank you.
Hi Linda. That's correct! I don't remember the last time I've had my WB canner out. I steam can anything I would normally WB can. 😊
What would be longest shelf life?
@@lindaferguson593 Linda, so far I've got OJ that's about 18 months old and it's good. I would think 2 to 3 years would be a good guesstimate. Possibly longer?
in your next videos can you tell everyone how long it lasts once canned? i had to dig in the.comments to find it..
The longest I've had canned OJ in the pantry so far has been about 3 years. If stored properly, it should be good longer. 😊
How long will this be shelf stable? I may have missed that info if it was already pointed out.
Hi Mary. I've got some in the pantry that's about a year old. The color has darkened a little bit it still tastes fine. Over all I would say it should be good for at least 2 years. 😊
I was looking for the same. How long is it good for on the shelf
Can you recan apple juice from the store
Sharon, if it's bottled and on the shelf already at the store, you're better off just keeping it like that in your pantry, especially if it comes in a glass bottle. This method of canning (steam canning) juices comes in handy for the juices that are fresh or refrigerated, or frozen concentrate will work so you don't take up freezer space. 😊
What can you steam
Hi Sharon. Anything you would normally WB can, you can steam can instead. 😊
I feel like it over cooks the food (compared to WB for a longer time. 🤷♀️)
So you do have a PC, but have chosen to WB can all your foods? I'm not against that, especially when most counties in the world do all WB canning. I started WB canning my green beans for quiet awhile before deciding to PC them. It was quicker using the PC over all in time, and I didn't notice any difference of the texture being softer. My main concern is running your canner dry for a 3 hour period. Honestly, I would say you're better off to continue doing your 3 hrs WB as you've been doing.
It is not much vitamin C left after this treatment....It is ruind about 70 degrees c.
@oyvindbrustad I agree. Stop to think about when you buy juice from the store and when reading the label it may say pasteurized and/or fortified with vitamin(s) C, etc. The only way to truly get your vitamin C from the OJ is to drink fresh squeezed and as soon as you squeeze it so it doesn't start to oxidize. I'm doing this for the convenience of having it on hand or when the grocery store shelves go empty. 😊
I would like to see more about the steam canning Once I get a steady flow of steam, then I process for the recommended time? And not put on the “juggler”
Hi Carol. You are exactly correct! Once that steam starts flowing, set your time for the required time for water bath canning and let it vent. No jiggler! Once your time is up, turn your heat off and wait for the residual steam to stop coming out of the vent pipe. Then you can remove your cover. I rarely use my water bath canner any longer. I can in large batches for the most part so I'm able to double stack my jars in the PC, using the required amount of 2" of water for my AA PC, and steam can my water bath canned products. Saves water, time if normally doing multiple batches, and one less piece of canning equipment to invest in and store! 😊
@@OuttheBackDoor I have another question. Do you steam can with food that takes longer to process? Peaches pears tomatoes Would you put in a little extra water for longer times? Glad to see you back. I was wondering where you were. getting ready here in SE Minnesota for another snow storm coming tonight
Carol, I steam can ANYTHING that WB canning is called for and for that amount of time. And I don't add any additional water. You won't run out unless you forget about it and walk away! 😟 We got several inches of snow and sleet the past few days. Yesterday it took me almost 2 hours to shovel the front and driveway. I'll wait for the snow tomorrow to come before I'll do the back, too. How much snow are you expecting? Now I need to look at the radar to see if we're in the same storm front.
I just looked at the radar and it's a BIG front heading for both of us but it's taking it's sweet time getting here. That's ok though!
I can't hear anything
Hi Cheryle. I just checked the video I have audio and someone else left a comment and didn't say anything about it. Maybe back out of youtube and then try again?
Thanks, that worked 😊
Thanks for the video.! I’m new to canning and just wanna know how long the juice stays good for in the pantry. Thanks
Hi Kayla. I've got canned oj in the pantry that's aboutt 2 years old. The color has darkened a little bit we're still drinking it. 😊
You're losing ALL the vitamin C, it's not a good idea to can oranges and lemons.
Hi Joyce. There's a reason they fortify juices that are store bought. They've been processed to a certain extent. I can OJ to have it in my pantry for emergencies. I've also got bottles of vitamins in another "pantry". 😊
Can use cold jars, juice, canner?
Hi Tina. If you're talking room temp? Yes, but bring your temp up slowly to avoid the possibility of temperature shock and breaking jars or siphoning. 😊
This is a great idea. Gonna have to try it. Thanks for the demonstration!
Hi Back Achers Homestead. Thank you and I appreciate you watching! Nice to hear from you. 😊
Question, when you heat it does it keep the nutritional value?
Hi Kimberly. When you heat ANY fruit or vegetable with any type of process, including steaming vegetables to eat, you lose some of the nutritional value. If you notice, some juice manufacturers may put on their labels, Fortified with vitamins. Also, juice from concentrate has different additives in it from the process of making it into a concentrate.
I hope this helps. 😊
@@OuttheBackDoor yes, I would drink fresh over processed all day long.
Girl, you're on a roll today. 🤣 Thank you for all these great videos. Now that my Friend is exactly why you're

Thank you! I don’t like water bath canning at all, (takes way too long to heat all that water and I always end up burning my hands in the water somehow). So I’ve been pressure canning at lower pressures the foods normally done by water bath, such as apple sauce, etc. This looks easier. Thanks again!
Hi hmmm. I'm glad this was helpful. I don't recall the last time I actually WB canned. I steam can using this method instead. 😊
You are my new favorite canner. Love all your knowledge. Thank you for sharing with us all. Your information is so much greater than the USDA! Yes, I understand the disclamer, but I am a rebel. God bless you!
Hi Daisy. I'm glad you're enjoying the canning videos and I appreciate you watching! Enjoy your evening. God bless. Mickey 😊
What happened to all your videos....I came to comment on the canned ham one you did ??
Hi Von D. I've been on a fast of all social media for awhile and recently I've had a few people tell me all my UA-cam content was gone. I'm trying to upload the videos again but it's going to take some time. UA-cam allows me to upload a few a day and that's it. I think it's to make sure I'm not a robot or something as far as spam. I'm trying to upload the more popular videos to begin with. I can schedule the ham video for tomorrow if that would be helpful to you. 😊
That's a shame they disappeared after all that work you did loading them the first time. A couple of months ago, I commented on a ham video of yours....I was coming back to add an update. I was asking you about the taste & texture of a home canned (precooked) ham. I did 2 qts and a pint of a precooked ham because I can't find an uncooked one. That was in September, we opened one recently.....I'll have to say, the flavor of the ham went back into it and was very good.
Hi Von. Thanks for the update. I'm so glad to hear of your results! I'm uploading a couple of videos a day and I believe the canning ham is scheduled for tomorrow. 😊
Thank you. I have learned a couple of new things here today. Loved the out takes. God Bless and stay safe.
Hi Joey. I'm glad the video was helpful and thank for watching. God bless and have a wonderful evening. 😊
This video was so helpful! I didn't know that I could use my pressure canner as a steam canner.
Hi T. I don't recall the last time I used my WB canner. I take that back. I did a couple of videos putting up juice or preserves and I used it. But I generally can in larger quantities and double or triple stack in my All American 941 with the required 2 to 3 inches of water per pressure canning and use it as a steam canner. Works like a charm! I also use my smaller PC to steam can smaller batches. Anything I would WB can, I steam can. I'm glad this was helpful and thank you for watching! 😊
So do you just grab a jar off the shelf and put it in the fridge to get cold before drinking?
Hi Donna. Yes! It's that simple. 😊
So nice to see you back !!
Hi Denise. Thank you and nice to hear from you! 😊
I’m so happy to find out I can steam can with my PCs! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that!!
Hi Swan Hill. Anything you would normally WB can, steam can with the PC for the required WB time. I rarely use my WB canner. 😊
Wow she good I never new you can steem oj ! I'm new at canning 😊
Hi Shindana. Steam canning saves water and you don't have to WB can multiple batches if you have a lot to do. 😊
Can you just do this with other stuff that requires water bathing, like jelly or sour cream, milk?
YES!!!! Rarely do I water bath can any longer! Being I do larger batches most of the time, I love that I can double stack in the PC and steam can instead of WB canning. 👍
@@OuttheBackDoor Excellent!!! Sandy Pawz brought me an All Amer. 915 for Christmas and I am Soooo in Love with it! It's only the 2nd time in our entire marriage that he's given me anything for the house for Christmas...the only other time was our 1yr...I told him tools don't count for holiday presents, personal things Do, but to be fair, I asked for it! 😁
WOOHOO!!!! 🎉 That's an awesome gift! I'm glad you're enjoying it! It seems the older I get, the more practical items I request. 😉
@@OuttheBackDoor I've wanted a pressure canner for decades and I can use my pressure cooker to do up to 5qts or 5pts only, but I had fails because I can't regulate the pressure. There is no rocker for it, and I'm at over 5,000ft elevation. I think this is going to be a great investment. I just have to get over opening it. It wants to vacuum seal itself. Hubby uses a rubber mallet. I know the manual says to use a screwdriver but I don't want to damage the aluminum.
Run a thin coat of olive oil around the metal gasket area before putting the top on. Mine vacuum locked on me the very first time but I forgot to oil the gasket. Check in your manual. It will explain better and I think there's a diagram. They also say you can use a real thin coat of Vaseline but I stick with olive oil. Haven't had it lock since. I did use a screwdriver to break the lock on mine.
I never used my pressure cooker as a canner for the very reason you mentioned, no way of knowing the pressure.
My pantry is definitely expanding 🎉😂😂😂
Hi Tea Cup & Yorkies. I'm so EXCITED for you!!! 👏🎆
There no audio
Hi Yolanda. I just checked the video I have audio and someone else left a comment and didn't say anything about it. Maybe back out of youtube and then try again?
Yes-I was hoping I had missed a process, but I believe you’re 100% right! Ty for your time. I’ve used my pc to WB and now now I can use less water and steam with it! 👍
Julie, I don't recall the last time I WB canned. Anything that calls for WB canning, I steam can now.
How long will the canned orange juice last?
Hi Tammy. The longest I've had any OJ in the pantry has been about a year, but that's because of how fast I go through my rotation. Speculating, I would say easily 2 years. I hope this helps! 😊
