  • Salsa can be tricky to can safely if you want to use your own recipe. This video tells you how to do it!
    Note: I forgot to mention that the only thing I added to the salsa off camera was another teaspoon of salt. The amount of heat with two jalapeños was perfect for our taste!
    Note: Sadly, the Instant Pot Max is no longer available.

    Hello Jim and Pam. I'm the canner that watches you and and many others before I purchased anything. Now I have been water bath, steam canning and dehydrating. I went to school first, then I practiced what I've learned. I continue to learn because of all the teachers that bless us with their knowledge.

    works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

    I am a single dad with two children. I purchased the IP Canner version when it first came out and found out later it wasn't tested so not recommended for high-pressure canning. I didn't have your gadget so had to test everything either visually or open a jar (after removing it from the canner) and manually measure the temperature at the center of the food. Like using the probe, this reduced my processed food by one can by it provided the data I needed to feel safe.
    I want to thank you for verifying that I was on track using the IP to high pressure can with. Our IP has paid for itself over and over by saving us money. We don't have a lot of room to store cans so small batches work best for us.
    I love your videos and have watched them over and over. Thank you for all your effort in making them.

      I've been using my insta pot max for a year and I love it. It's just the two of us and by putting it on twice a day in canning season I can 8 jars a day-40 jars a week usually. Then I also use it for pressure cooking beets for supper or a marinated pork tenderloin ( 4 mins) slow release. Thinking of getting another one too.

    Love the video! When talking about the pH, below 4.6 is low pH which means higher acidity not low acid. That may have been a little confusing in the video because vinegar and lemon juice are high acid not low acid. I think you may have said low acid when you meant low pH. I really liked how you lined up the visual and the pH meter tip and cute story. Well done!!!

    Thank you thank you thank you. I make kombucha and I have one of those pH meters. And I am a nurse and very used to science and chemistry. So I really really like the way you think. And now I can make my own recipe without having to stand here measuring dots for dot. Maybe leaving out something that I really want in there. And testing the pH to be sure that it’s fine. Of course I will only use tested ingredients. But I’ve been frustrated in the past when I find a recipe that has the balance of tomato and onion that I want but it doesn’t have garlic. Or it has garlic but it’s missing something else. So now I can put them together and just make sure their acidified enough. In fact I like your recipe a lot. LOL Freedom! 🤗.

    Pam, I love your videos. It's SO refreshing to see videos being done by someone who actually knows what they're talking about. The one flaw I noticed in this video is that throughout the video you were referring to the foods on the low end of the ph scale as the low acid foods. Things like lemons and vinegar. They are actually the highest acid foods in your demo. It's obvious you know that as it's reflected in what you're doing. I suspect you were saying low acid when you meant to say low ph.

I've almost got it all figured out with plenty of help from you. My biggest problem was syphoning. I rarely if ever now have it set on quick release. I find that just sucks the juice right out of the jars. So I let it finish Au naturale. Takes longer, but no syphoning. small sacrifices.

    so I want to pressure can a USDA tested peach salsa recipe in the IP Max. the dreictions they give are for water bath canning. Could i simply low pressure can that recipe for 20 min (the recommend time) instead of the water bath?

    Hi Pam, thank you for the diligence in your videos. I suspect you want to clarify your High acid side vs Low acid sides. The pH scale is such that lower pH is not low acid, but higher acidity, there being an inverse relationship between acidity & pH. A higher number of Hydrogen ions = a lower pH= higher acidity= safe for water bath canning. Similarly, on the opposite side of your (correctly placed) barrier at 4.6 , the pH continues higher, the acidity becomes lower & more basic = pressure can. So, in our example the Vinegar has a lower pH but higher acidity (would be the “hi acid” side) and our Tomatillos have a higher pH number but “lower acid” ,I.e.less acidity. Hopefully this is a clarification...give the video another listen.. Thanks again!

    I will try to be nice because you taught me so much :) To me, you talk backwards. When someone has a stroke and someone says they are like a vegetable, they are not active. When you say botulism is "vegetative" and then say the opposite, that it is "active", that to me is not a vegetative state, but an active state.
    On the PH scale under 7 is acidic and over 7 is alkaline, but somehow you seem to say it backwards. Anyway,I know what you mean, but you must make a mean scramble eggs lol.

      @RoseRedHomestead  3 роки тому +3

      Sugar should not change the pH much at all. The USDA recipes suggest adding a little sugar to cut the taste of the vinegar or lemon juice used to acidify the salsa. Great question!

    I am knew to canning and I understand where you’re coming from. Here’s my question. I like a lot more jalapeños and cilantro in my salsa so if it doesn’t reach the right pH can I just pressure can it to be safe and if so, do I have to follow a specific recipe or because I’m pressure canning it. Is it safe?
    I just recently purchased a presto pressure canner. If you didn’t get the right pH on your recipe in this video, could you have just pressure candid and be done with it and it would still be safe.

  • @richc1259
    @richc1259 2 роки тому +1

    You have your low acid and high acid reversed. Low ph number = High acid. As the number rises and nears “neutral” ( high ph number ) means low acid . So high ph number = low acid. Add high acid (vinegar/lemon/lime) to a low acid product ( tomatoes/onion/pepper) to raise their acidity.

    That was amazing. Why don’t they sell litmus papers or the ph reader by the canning supplies? You are a Master Canner extraordinaire! I do have a question and I hope you can help me understand. When you are testing for ph, you are testing the liquid in the pot but not necessarily the solids in the pot (eg the pepper). Is that okay?

    • @RoseRedHomestead
      @RoseRedHomestead  3 роки тому +2

      That is really a good point! You do test the liquid for pH and not the solids. And, you test after everything is cooked. Great question! The cooked peppers have given up their juices to the liquid in the pot and that is why you wait until everything is cooked through.

      That's what I thought, and that's why I was looking through the comments. Why worried with water bath canning when you can just pressure can the salsa. I would like to have a reply to this also. Even with the pH at the correct level why not just pressure can the salsa. There is so little information out when you search about canning salsa and pressure canning all of the search results go back to water bath canning

  • @Jomama02
    @Jomama02 3 роки тому

    I love your explanation of the acid scale and demonstration of it. What I do not agree with is Pressure canning in the instapots even if they say they are safe for canning. They are not. They do not get to a high enough pressure nor maintain that pressure for the time needed. More to Life did quite a informative fully researched video on it. What's been tested and what's not been tested and the results. I just would NOT risk it. Water bath canning, yes because anything can be used for water bathing but NEVER for pressure canning.

    • @RoseRedHomestead
      @RoseRedHomestead  3 роки тому +5

      Thanks for your comments. If you have not watched our video on pressure canning in the InstantPot Max, you may want to see the testing we did, which refutes your comments. The only way to really test pressure is to track the temperature of the food inside the jars during processing. If a pot does not apply enough pressure, it will not reach the thermal death temperature needed to kill botulinum spores. Not only did the IP Max get the food inside the jars up to the proper temperature but it maintained that temperature well beyond the time needed to kill all botulinum spores in every one of our test batches with three different foods. And we live at 5000 feet, which is higher in elevation than the tests USU performed on three other pots that did not pass their tests. But they did not test the InstantPot Max. I presented that information so people could decide for themselves and make no recommendation what anyone else should do. If you chose not to risk it, that is fine for you.

    I purchased an Instantpot MAX after watching your earlier video. I already have a pressure canner but I was interested in the IP Max’s ability to use for small batch canning. I have used it for canning garbanzo beans and green beans. Each batch had one failed seal. Also one jar, ratchet batch was not boiling after I took them out of the canner. I really want to use the IP Max but I’m concerned that there is a problem. It says that the temp is getting high enough but I don’t have a thermometer like you have to prove it to me. Do you have any advice?

    • @RoseRedHomestead
      @RoseRedHomestead  3 роки тому +4

      That does sound a bit troubling. I had one batch where the temperature in the pot fell below the safe zone and it shut down. I had to restart the batch, but that is a safety feature which I appreciate. Not one of my jars in over 10 batches so far has failed to seal. Keep a close watch and if that continues, I would consider taking it back and getting another one or a refund.
