Bret's Cannery Selected and wash your fruit jars.. Sterilize all your jars and utensils with hot water. I'd purchased several pounds of Sweet Seedless Red Grapes due to our store receiving way over what they'd ordered. Pick the grapes off the stems. Select only firm grapes you'd consider eating tossing the damaged, mushy, split, or unmatured. Thoroughly wash your grapes. To each quart jar add 1 1/2 cups grapes............ ( Yes I know I have overfilled the cup...ooppss!) Measure out 1/3 cup of sugar. Add the sugar to each jar. Fill each jar to the neck with HOT water. ... (About 3/4" from the top ) |

AS A KID IN RURAL ALABAMA, I SAW JUST THE THING YOU SHOW DONE YEAR-ROUND. FRUITS VEGGIES, ONLY THERE N THEN. THE CANNING EQUIPMENT WAS VERY CRUDE. I SAW MANY JARS BREAK AN OR EXPLODE. CAN GOODS WERE THE ONLY SOURCE OF VEGGIES ETC DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. I JUST GAVE AWAY MY MOMS CANNING POT TO A YOUNG MAN THAT WILL REFURBISH IT AND USE IT.

So lovely that you still have your grandma's jars. The weather here has turned so cold and windy over the last few days. Rain almost every day. Horrible summer so far.

Some of my relatives would can pork when butchering a hog. Simply slice into bite size pieces.--------- salt and pepper on each side------- cook (3/4 done very important) in a skillet------then can it ( pressure cook it in the glass jars. It was the preferred meat at family reunions. Melt in the mouth rich tasting delicious. Just open the jar and heat.

I've canned my whole life....everything from Salmon, Clams, smoked Oysters, Venison, Moose, Chicken, veggies, pickles, sauces, lots of Apple Juice, Cherries and juice, jams, jellies,.......Apple Sauce.....dozens of cases of Apple Sauce every Fall........Here's something I learned... When you can food with a high sugar and/or acid content, like fruit with added sugar, you can do it without the canner. You prepare the jars and lids the same way. Then you cook up your fruit, make the pure' or sauce or cook up water and sugar and gently simmer the fruit in it......Then you fill your hot sterile jars and immediately slap on the lids that are sitting in simmering water and screw them down.....Works great......you will hear that satisfying pop as the lids seal.....
