Mark Frazier I haven't canned in years, but the way the world is going, I decided to start canning supplies to store in case of problems and with canning, I won't be dependent on electricity to run the freezer. I made some chili and pressure canned 7 quarts. Everything went great, but when I opened the pressure canner to remove the jars, 3 of them had leaked some fluid. I left 1 inch of head space in each jar. The three jars only lost about 1/4 inch of fluid level. ( i don't see that as a problem). I also made the chili a little soupy as I had read it should not be real thick. My question is , all the jars sealed, ( I marked the three that "siphoned" to keep watch that they stay sealed. I was thinking maybe I should keep those three in the refrigerator and use them first ). Since they all are sealed , are they all okay? I thought maybe the fluid may pollute the seal ring and the seal may not hold. Is this true?

@HerHomesteadSkills 4 жыл бұрын

Mark Frazier, Good for you to start canning. I'm going to suggest that if you have a good seal (check that by using your fingertips to lift the jar by the lid) then you should be good to go. p.s remove the rings when placing the jars into your pantry for storage. Siphoning, yeah can be an issue. It still happens to me too, usually when I'm in a hurry to remove jars from the canner. I find that if I allow the canner and jars to cool together just a bit, I don't have an issue with siphoning. Another thing you can do if you notice siphoning is to place a dishcloth on top of the jars so that they are not exposed to cooler air so quickly. You can keep an eye on the ones you are not sure of, but if you have a good seal you should be ok. Happy Canning !!!!

Matthewrs7, Most canners will tell you how much water to add. My Presto 23 quart canner calls for 3 quarts of water, I also add a splash of vinegar to keep the jars from clouding up. Welllll. in situation where I COULD NOT heat it up, I would eat it cold out of the jar. It is fully cooked...twice actually, the second time in the canner, however as long as I can find a way to heat it, I most certainly would. even a slight warming would make it more appetizing (to me)

the vinegar in the canner prevents the minerals in the water from settling on the outside of your jars, so they don't come out of the canner cloudy.

Ok, first clarification: although both items use pressure, a Pressure COOKER is not the same as a pressure CANNER. There are two main products on the market (and others as well) the high end product is the All-American Canner.The more economical unit is the Presto Canner, both are highly recommended and both provide replacement parts if required. There are differences, so do your homework.

Heather Whitlock, Great Question! yes I have experienced small amount of content release from jars into the canner on rare occasions. When that occurs I keep an eye on the seal for a few days. I also wash each jar with hot water and soap ( I do this with every jar, regardless ) before they are placed into the pantry and wash out the canner. Other than that the content "release" doesn't seem to have affected anything.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 жыл бұрын

Not necessary...but 1) it allows you to properly wash the jar after it has cooled, sometimes food particles that are siphoned out stay under the ring making it difficult to remove after it dries. 2) If you have a false seal, the lid (without the ring holding it down) it will just pop up and you now KNOW that jar has gone bad...toss it OUT...p.s. My mother used to keep the rings on, and I have seen an exploded jar of tomato puree and glass...first hand...yuk!

If anyone could give me some advice. Why when pressure canning I get some residue from inside the jars inside my pot? I'm raw packing chicken soup in quart jars with celery, carrots, and onions. Also filling up to the 1" line. I'm guessing water is coming out from the meat and leaking out but not sure. Looking for advice. Thanks

@HerHomesteadSkills 3 жыл бұрын

It's not so much a matter of "leaking out" but rather of being "vented out" of the jars. The caning process vents air out of the jars to create the seal. Raw packed food contains more air than hot packed, therefore more air needs to be removed, and sometimes the liquid is also forced out in the process. Sudden temperature changes will also have an effect. This loss of liquid won't hurt anything as long as you have a good seal.
