Tips
- Open kettle canning is canning without a canner.
- This method can be used for any high-acid food.
- Food/brine must be at a rolling boil.
- Jars and lids must be HOT.
- Close the jars tightly.
- Lids will seal on their own without using a canner.
- Botulism doesn't exist in an acidic environment.
- If you don't like rebel canning, you can water-bath this recipe for 10 minutes. This is for pints or smaller.
- Work extremely fast when canning.
- Work on each jar one by one.
- Wipe the rim of the jar with vinegar.
- Add flats and rings, a little tighter than fingertip tight.
- The heat from the jars, lids, and strawberry butter will create the seal.
- Do not add extract until the end so you don't kill the flavor off.
