Hi Nonie. I've never thought of using V-8. I'm glad you mentioned it, it's a great idea! I'm definitely going to have to try that in the future, thank you!

You're welcome! Liked your video very much, covered each step very well and was very comprehensive! A big plus for having everything prepared in advance... an important advantage most folks neglect!

SynnovesHome I have a All American Canner 30qt that I can process 14 qts at a time... so when I'm making soup I'll use my 18qt Roaster Oven and let cook overnight then it's ready to go first thing in the morning. This way it also gives me free time to do another project while the sauce/soup simmers! Happy Canning!

Multitasking is great! Canning can take up a lot of the day. With big batches it works out better to break it down....prep one day can the next! Thanks for watching!

Nonie0056 same here v8 all the way

Thank you Debbie!

I have also seen some very dangerous examples of canning on KZfaq.

Thank you Shirashayn's! That's very kind of you!!

So glad you found me too! Thank you Barry!

That's the way to do it. At least grow the tomatoes which is pretty easy.

Hi and welcome!...I`m sure you will love the soup, it`s a family favorite. Thanks so much for watching!

Hi Bryan. I don't put the rings back on but you can if you like, it'd just a personal preference. Thanks for watching!

Thank you Lauren!

The NuWave can't be used with any canner that is aluminum. Most canners are aluminum! The only thing you can use on the NuWave is.. Precision cookware, stainless steel with magnetic base, enameled iron and steel, cast iron. In other words if a magnet doesn't stick to the bottom of your pots or pans it can't be used with it. I have only seen one canner that is made with stainless steel it's called.... Fagor pressure cooker/ canner. but I still don't know if it has the right base for the NuWave. I have some stainless steel pots that still can't be used with it. As for any other extra burner that can take on a pressure canner and the weight of it, I haven't found one yet! But like you I'm looking too, it sure would free up the stove! Thanks for watching!

hi did you ever figure that out? i freeze framed the video and it looked like 1.36 L = just under 1.5 quarts. did you make the soup? how was it?

Hi CountryGirl. I'm Swedish, we moved to Canada when I was little. I live in Southern Ontario. Canning is one of those things that when you start you can't ever see yourself not doing it life! Glad you liked the video!

SynnovesHome I have really been enjoying your videos, thank you for taking the time to do them, your very thorough and explain things so well! :) I live in Vermont so not all that far from you!

Thank you Terri! It's a wonderful soup that I know you will love!!!! Happy canning!!

The tomato juice can size is 48oz.

The rule of thumb is... hot jars, hot ingredients. Jars can break with extreme temperature differences. Thanks for watching!

She didnt really cook them . Just heated up. She did cook the meat

Weegie late reply, but enzymes from your mouth will touch the spoon, and even the tiniest amount will cause the soup to begin digesting in the jars. Gross. But, she could just use one spoon- just use the big stirring spoon to drop a bit onto the spoon, for tasting, so she doesn’t need to dip.

The high temperature of the canning process will denature any enzymes present and stop the digestion process.

Hi luv2craftcards. Yes canning, preserving, dehydrating, gardening, doing as much as you can for yourself does take time.....but when it's a lifestyle that you are used to, and choose to do and love to do.... it somehow just works. The books will tell you to rotate all canned goods in a year cycle BUT a lot of canned good will keep on the shelf's for years and years. I try to keep my canned goods on a yearly rotation but have had some on the shelf for two or more years and they where fine. Check your food often use your nose! When in doubt throw it out!!

As a homemaker, I stretch our budget with things like canning. Right now, my daughter and I are saying our good-nights and in the background we hear ping! Ping! Ping! It's rewarding to save money, eat healthy, and share time together. I like the cost breakdown. When people ask me if it's worth the time I ask them how many hours of work did you blow on your movie and dinner and drinks...plus or minus the sitter?
