I have a FoodSaver with attachments also, but last week I purchased a handheld jar sealer on Amazon for $28. It's a game changer! No more dragging out the bigger machine. I save that for meats and dry goods. I discovered that vacuum sealing lettuce works as well. I wash it, spin and pat it as dry as possible, chop it into bite sized pieces and pack it into a wide mouth jar. Once sealed, it lasts quite awhile.

I save my undamaged canning lids for any sort of vacuum sealing. No need to use any new lids that way. I didn’t catch it, but if you didn't mention it... don't wash the fruit... especially berries. Wash them as you use them. They stay fresher that way too. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this excellent description of how to vacuum seal jars. You made it very understandable the process to go through with the vacuum sealer for jars. I’ve listened to other explanations, and they rely on people watching, but for someone blind like me, I needed more of a description of the how it’s done, and what’s happening in the process, and you did that quite well. so thank you for your demonstration. 15:29

Wow, never knew this with fruit, how awesome, thank you! I can see this method extremly valuable if you like to make your own jam from harvestng from your own garden. As not all berries become ripe at the same time. This method wiil allow me to store my fruit as i continue to harvest for 2 more weeks and have a nice jam making day....yay!

Thank you so much for sharing this video. This has become a game changer for me. No more purchasing berries and have them rot in 2 days! Saving me so much money and aggravation. Thanks again 😊

Good idea. You mentioned plastic lids as an option once you open the jar. I save plastic lids from nut butters and these often fit canning jars as well.

Love my foodsaver! One secret, tho, you don't have to vacuum seal them, just sort any questionable fruit, put it in GLASS jar and toss in the fridge. I have blueberries I've had for over a month that are still good. It also works for veggies like mushrooms. Thanks for the demo!

Sometimes you'll get a jar that just won't seal but you can put two lids on there and then seal it, then just remove the top lid and put the ring on. I have the small handheld sealer and it works awesome and cost me 20 bucks about 2 years ago, they're a little more than that now. I got it on Amazon. Also if you have the canisters the handheld sealer will work on those too. When I'm canning flour, spices, cornmeal or something powdery like that, I put a cupcake paper liner in the mouth of the jar, above the flour, etc, to keep the dust from coming up and clogging the sealer. The little sealer works great and it takes up basically no space. Just tuck it away into a corner or put it in a drawer. God bless y'all Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🐴🇺🇸⚒️🇺🇸❣️

WOW…I didn’t know this. Sooooo many times I’ve purchased strawberries and within 2-3 days, they’ve gone bad. I will certainly try this!!! TYFS 💕🌸💕

New to your site, Thank You for this info. I didn’t know I could seal fruit in jars. I like the idea of the small jars for fruit. Thanks for the info. 😀❤️🙏

I seal in any jar by using the Foodsaver canisters.

This technique works well also for mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, green beans and other items.

This is great i just bought a dehydrator and was looking for what i could do with it

Do you have the name of the jar opener or a link. I need that badly?

I am new to your channel. I am going to get a vacuum sealer. Can you show how to open and reuse lids. I am new to all of this sorry if a dum question. Learning

What a great idea! Have you tried vacuum sealing meat that you don't want to freeze because you'll be using it in a few days?

Thank you for the video. I use a vac sealer A LOT! I am curious why you put the rings on the jars. It's not needed if they are vac sealed.

TySm lots of great information

Could you put a link up for the wide and regular mouth attachments from Amazon please?

In your raspberry example, you opened it the next day to use some. If you don't vacuum it again wouldnt they go bad just as quickly? Does that make sense what i am asking? It seems like you would want to vacuum seal again after use? I am new to this. Thanks for the help

I just did this but I added a bit of paper towel on the bottom. Seems to absorb water on the bottom

Do you have a link for the jar opener? I have one that came with my jar sealer attachments but it doesn't work well at all.

I ordered the hand vacuum sealer on Amazon so I don’t have to get my food saver out.

I have a food saver also with the jar adapter. How long would ground coffee keep in a vacuumed jar?

Oh, But I have a small refridg and can't at this time untill we can move somewhere else.

So, I will put them in plastic jars (Mason jars) or other air tight jars

I wonder if you have ever vacuumed seal bananas? and if you do, how long would they last? and Avocadoes

How long does the fruit last when vacuum sealed.

Have you ever vaccum seal like onions, radishes, celery and carrot? to put in the refridge?

Could I use this for Hummus and other bean spreads?

New to vacuum sealing - any risk of botulism with this method? I thought it grew in moist no-oxygen environments but assume the cold temp prevents it from growing - yet is it zero risk? My research either comes up inconclusive or that the fridge has to be kept BELOW 37.4 degrees F to prevent spores from growing, which is quite close to fridge temps and some people run their fridges hotter or they get hotter with introduction of hot foods that haven’t cooled down, etc. I know risk is minimal just wondering if you have any interesting research.

Great video. I need know name of your Foodsaver machine. Thanks

Hope I do not sound silly but if for some reason the fruit is going to go bad before being eaten, can I just pop the jar in the freezer or should I open the seal and vacuum seal in a bag first?

❤❤❤❤❤

Was wondering 💭 if U've tried vacuum sealing watermelon chunks! 🤷‍♀️

Can you use any plastic lids from other items

Can the same method be done with peaches

Air is the enemy.

Wow 2 whole weeks yahoo. That's sarcasm
