    I love the name Heritage Canning! I remember my mother sealed her jams and jellies with parafin wax. She didn't always have a lid handy. Still worked. Don't recall getting sick. Didn't mold. Anybody else use wax?
    All the rules and regulations were set in place to "keep everyone safe" actually meant to make it harder so people wouldn't do it themselves anymore. Big G doesn't want us to know or figure out how to do things without them. But more and more people are going back to heritage knowledge.

      YES!!! As a child, I loved getting to take the muslin off the jam and peel back the paraffin. My great-grandmother didn't actually use lids. She used the wax, a muslin and a string. Never got sick.

    I have canned for 43 years. Before that I helped my Mom cann for our family of 8. None of us ever got sick. I always, always check to make sure that my jar is still sealed. I have only had 3 or 4 jars come unsealed over all these years. I buy all my meat from a farm that does not use any antibiotics or hormones, everything is pasture raised and taste delicious. God Bless you Young Lady and Happy Canning

    I'm native Texan and I can remember my grandmother's homemade dewberry (a type of blackberry) preserves - nobody made it better. She canned a lot of stuff that my grandfather grew in their garden (mostly vegetables). They had a 'pantry' that was just for canned goods - on all the walls the shelves were just wide enough and tall enough for the jars and the shelves went all the way to the ceiling. They lived through the great depression and learned how to preserve food without the government's "assistance".

    I'm from Germany and the most common canning method here is called WECK. It's the company that basically invented canning. For low acid foods that potentially have botulism are recommended to be waterbath canned twice or to reheat it and boil it for 10 minutes (just like you mentioned). Also the WECK jars are extremely budget friendly because they are made out of glas (even the lid) the only thing you have to replace is the rubber ring that seals the jar and even thise can be reused about 3 times

    @SurvivalHT I'm a South African. Thank you for your information. I found through my own research that interestingly, Eastern European countries add a tablespoon of 9% vinegar (or 2 tablespoons of 5% vinegar) to each quart jar to safely waterbath can meats and low acid foods that would otherwise be pressure canned. This doesn't alter the taste. For pints they add a teaspoon of 9% or 2 teaspoons of 5% vinegar per pint jar. They always reheat food for 10 mins before consuming it for safety. I too reuse jars bought at shops, as canning jars are crazy expensive, that's if you can find them. Although I differ from your small tips on method; I'm truly thankful that you're raising this subject 'cause it is vitally important. God bless you and yours from South Africa.

    I grew up in central Louisiana and saw an interesting preservation method as a kid. My great, great aunt on my father's side still insisted on processing a hog every fall and would enlist us boys to go hunt wood ducks on the creeks. She had lard buckets that were metal and she had kept for years when they stopped making metal ones, and she used these to store the ducks.
    Ducks were boiled, and taken out steaming into the cold morning air and would dry off from the heat in just a minute. She would take super hot, almost smoking pork lard and pour some into the metal bucket and then pack a couple ducks in. Then she'd pour lard enough to cover them and pack more in. When finished she'd pour enough hot lard to cover them all about an inch deep once it solidified.
    These would keep all year and she would pull out ducks as she needed or wanted, spoon out lard and get it super hot and pour back over to seal it again. This isn't something I would do in today's world because we've got better options, but it worked very well to keep meat preserved without salting or smoking before refrigeration came along. I'll also add that she was always on the lookout that the lard had "gone rancid" which was just her way of saying that it had bacteria in it and that changed the flavor and smell. If she thought it was "trying to go rancid" she'd pour cold vinegar over the top of the lard cap and leave it. The acidity of the vinegar would add an extra layer of protection with it's acidity I'm sure.

I grew up eating these beans canned in this method for 50 plus years. Until recently my coworkers talked me into pressure canning stating it was safer. Got lucky and found an all American canner for $80. I still don’t regret buying it because it does cut my canning time by a third which gives me more time to process more food.

    Thank you. Thank you. I grew up canning, going to the garden or u-pick gardens to get fruits and vegetables to process or freeze. You knew the growers and where your food came from, farm to table. Through the decades the lure of convenience and working outside the home as a single mom, there wasn't a lot of energy or motivation to override the convenience... fast forward to NOW. I am very concerned about my food and where it comes from and the additives. Back to canning!!
    I purchased a canner, then a pressure canner, then a book, went online and watched videos. I was so overwhelmed I didn't do anything.
    A few weeks ago, we picked several quarts of wild blackberries to make jam. So many recipes with varied ingredients and warnings. "This is how your grandmother made jam, this is how your mother made jam -- no more, this is the way you make jam SAFELY today." --Yikes.
    I have been buying lids and jars --- just in case of an emergency and we had to can all the meat in the freezer.... I watched so many videos that contradicted each other and made it so complicated and confusing, not to mention fearful if I made a mistake, we were all going to die---- what the heck??
    YOU, my dear, are a breath of fresh air -- plain and simple - factual - straight forward -- and kind!!
    😍🙏Thank you, you are my gift this week, an answer to my prayers!!! XOXO
    **The history shared here is an added blessing to be sure --- You could write a book!! ☺

I love it and and I use both mason jars and screw cap and all seal well.

      The principle would be the same. You'd need to sustain a fire hot enough to keep your water at a gentle boil. You'd need to add more hot water to your canning pot as it evaporates. Everyone should practice cooking over a fire. We built a simple fire pit in our backyard years ago with "rip rap" rocks. I enjoy building a fire and putting on a pot of some sort of stew on a cool afternoon and let it simmer until dinner time. It's better to be comfortable with a process before you're actually in desperate need, if possible.

    And reusing jars for canning is way more cost effective than buying a case. They are not cheap.

I've been canning for years but always been leary about low acid foods due to the propagandized fear. I remember reading a few years ago from the FDA itself that there are more cases of botulism yearly from the nacho cheese pumps (gas stations, theaters, resorts etc) than from home canning!
    And thanks to Sue for reminding me that I have a pdf copy of that very Ball 1940 chart somewhere in my phone! Time to dig that out and print it for my cookbook ;)

    Editing to add a note: check out thrift shops or even the garbage for hibachi grills, they make amazing canner inserts to keep the jars off the bottom. Alternatively, many Asian grocery stores sell a similar grill type thingie for very cheap.
