I got anxiety each time you seal-tested your jars! Really appreciate the honesty with missing a step for the canning process... makes me, as a viewer, trust this channel further!

You’re such a calming joy to watch, I’d watch you can all sorts of things!

I have to say, I am a 38 year old “city girl”. I find myself making more home goods and adding to my hobby list each year! I love my weck and Le Parfait jars🙌🏾. I love your videos and wanted to let you know that you are teaching, inspiring, and influencing many generations!!! Thank you and God bless! 🤗

You are so wonderful. This video has been incredibly helpful. I ordered my Tulip Weck jars online, and I had no idea how to can in them. Your instructions are thorough, and clear. Thank you so much.

I love that they stack..whag a space saver especially as we dont bave a pantry

Oh and if you look, ball has some very pretty 'jelly' jars with fancy designs on the outside that come in some lovely colors, like purple, pink, blue, to me they look fancy and nice.

I have Weck jars that are two years old. I didnt know how to can with them and so they sat on the shelf. Thank you for showing the process. I am encouraged and not afraid to use them now. Love your videos.

That's a wonderful video. I like how you've thoroughly and steadily walked through the whole canning process. I was particularly impressed (and persuaded) with your argument for the value of aesthetics over pure functionality and price. Thank you.

I'm a little younger than you, I think, but not by much ! This is a lot like canning with glass top 'bail and wire' jars. I like this method as you do not have to buy lids that you can only use once for canning. I've read online and seen in the few videos people have posted, that they have used the rubber rings for years so they seem to last a very long time, if taken care of, washed dried and stored correctly. Some of the older 'presto, gem, crown' jars work on the same bale and wire method and/or weck method. You can shop around and buy rubbers used or new. They are still sold in Canada. I've heard people say you should be able stretch the rubbers 2 times their size, that would indicate they are pliable and still good to use. If you stretched them and see cracks, use them to store dry goods, like beans or rice or flour and not for canning. Thank you for posting. I remember people using the bail and wire jars as a small child, but they were falling out of favor and yes the ball book does not recommend they be used any more. But the other jars, I mentioned, the presto, gem or crown have a ring like the ball ring that tightens around the jar lid to hold the rubber and glass lid in place. I even think some of the old zinc jar rings, that seal on the shoulder of the glass lid, below the top of the jar are not a preferred method as it is harder to tell if the product sealed properly, but I think of some of them you can get a smaller rubber seal and seat the jar on the very top like a ball jar. It depends on the lid. Some of the zinc jar lids had a porcelain inner top, that was part of the lid when it was manufactured, and some of them had a little indent around the edge of the top where you can slip a rubber seal. I know a lot of people recently were complaining about the ball lids, that they changed the compound and it was not as thick as it used to be, and either didn't seal as well, or the ball company - book, suggested you leave it on your shelf for a shorter period of time than the older ball lids with a thicker compound. These are like the tatler lids. I like the concept that you buy your jars and lids once and only the rubber seals when needed, instead of new lids all the time. Thank you for posting this video. I generally do not buy cherries as they are so expensive, until that 1 or 2 months when they are in season then they are very reasonably priced. What a great way to have cherries out of season. I was wondering if you could use natural store bought 'organic' cherry juice and use that in place of water - provided your cherry juice did not have preservatives in it. I know you can buy cherry juice concentrate from the health food stores and just dilute it till you get the strength that you like.

Thanks for these great tutorials, I am from Europe and I was trying to find references with the weck system and pressure canning. Unfortunately, pressure canning has not caught on in europe yet and too many are still canning with the usual water bath system. And I have to say, I would love to get my hands on Ball Jars because to me - those are the fancy ones! A box of 12 costs between 45 and 60 Euros over here...! So I'm gonna have to use the good old weck jars :-)

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing and teaching me all about these lovely Weck jars!

I can genuinely say that I love you. Thank you for existing. Thank you for sharing these videos. I am learning so much. You are a wonderful teacher, and something about you feels so very personal, like family.

I absolutely love the fanciness of the Weck jars. Wish Ball would make some fancy ones like that. I definitely am going to order some to have with my canning jars. I like to feel fancy too every once in a while. :)

Ohhh my Weck jars should sponsor this video, exelent video.

Just came across this video. Brings back memories of my Oma who canned the sour cherries in some sugar water. She always used these jars.

I'm so glad I found you. I have always been intrigued with these jars. You explain the process so well. Thank you.

Great video and now I can use my weck jars I’ve had for years and not used for canning

I avoid most canning videos because they don't adhere to USDA guidelines. I heard them called "Cowboy Canners" and I think that is a good description of them. However, you do follow USDA guidelines and that makes your videos the most accurate and safe I have found. I have been solely using Weck jars for about 40 years. I stopped using Ball because of BHT concerns, but stayed because the jars were cheaper in the long run. There is a far easier way to put on lids. Place the ring on the lid. With your palms facing you, rest the lid on the 2 middle fingers of each hand. Then let the fingernail of the pointer finger and pinky finger rest on the rubber ring. This means the ring is supported in four points. Place the lid-rubber on the far side of the jar - now the ring has 5 points of support. Then gently lay the lid down on the jar removing your fingers as you go. The ring is fully supported the entire way down to its final position this way. Also, lifting the jar is not a good way to test the seal. Any seal, including a poor one, will survive that test. Try to twist off the lid as if you were unscrewing a jar. A fragile seal that passes the lift test won't survive the twist test. I have had jars with obvious flaws in sealing and without a downward tab survive the lift test, but they don't survive the twist test. The lid will not twist off a well sealed jar. I never re-use a rubber seal after it has failed a twist test. If you can stand one more suggestion. Whether using 2 clips or 3, put the first clip about one centimeter from the rubber tab. This makes lifting the jar with the jar lifter easier because you have 1 less spot to avoid bumping by combining a clip and the rubber tab.

Love those jars! So tired…I am sitting here in our east Texas ❤ kitchen waiting for my fairly new 12 Qt. Presto Precise Electric Canner to finish cooling down on my second batch of sweet potatoes and it is 1:24 A.M. …….exhausted but I have such a hard time turning you off until YOU are done! Beautiful cherries!

I so appreciate you and how well you teach. You are so classy and thorough! Love how excited you got during seal test! I so wish I could get some weck jars, they are so unique! First I'm saving for a Jam Pan!! Blessings from Ohio

I bought my first Weck canning jars. They are super nice and attractive.

Those 1/2 L Weck Tulip jars are 100% my fave.

Just ordered me some "Weck" jars. I love them ...so cute. Who doesn't want to" fancy up" their work?...lol Thank you for your most informative videos.

Gosh the cherries and the jars are beautiful

Thank you Rose Red for being such an inspiration to me & many others. I've learned so much. I canned some of these today with your help😊 Thanks & blessings to you & Jim.

I truly loved your demonstration!!! You explain everything in such great detail that it takes the fear out of using different equipment. I do love the look of these jars and hope to add a few to my collection. I love your thoughts about every now and then you need a little “fancy”. ❤️❤️❤️

I used to help my mother, we lived in Germany. Imagine my delight to see you using the WEK glasses!! Love your channel xx

Thank you! I have learned so much from your videos. Getting ready to store water from what I learned from your post today, September 1, 2021. Getting ready for next shut down. We all know it's coming. I find your videos informative without causing fear. Again, thank you for the time and effort you and Jim have put into your videos.

I really enjoyed to learn about cherry canning.

As handsome as those Weck jars are, I would miss the --tink--tink---tink of the metal lids as the jars seal which always make a canner smile.

What a pleasant and helpful video -- thank you. I look forward to trying these.

“Satisfied the desire for a little bit fancy....” That’ is exactly how I feel! They’re more than nice and I love all of mine! I have several sizes and use them for storage. I have nuts, baking chocolate chips, coconut, chia seeds, etc., in mine....and keep them all out and on display. So pretty! But, I just procured 24 just over 5 ounce jars. I am not a canner and don’t own any equipment, but I so want to put “something” in these for longterm storage. I’m thinking I will thaw frozen fruit and make a jam/jelly. I will watch a couple more of your videos. So happy to have found you. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Ms Pam, I have learned so much for you ❤

Those are some beautiful jars!

Ooh I love cherries and they looks so gorgeous in those jars.

These are absolutely lovely. Novice here and I’m so intrigued with the whole preservation process. I agree- these jars are super adorable and fancy! A delight to adorn any table. Enjoyed the entire video. I’m hooked.

I never heard of weck jars until your channel. Thank you for sharing different options with us. I'd love to do this!

I use Weck jars and truly love them for their beauty and functionality. I did, like you have a learning curve. The 1/2 L holds peaches beautifully also. I have the L size and use them for canning pie fillings. I also have lots of the jelly jars that are tulip shaped and use them for jelly and tomato paste. The USDA has not tested them for pressure canning so I have not used them for that purpose because they are so expensive and I do not want to loose any of them. But they do well in a water bath. You have to change out the rubber ring each time like the Ball Jars. They are such a pleasure to use. I looked at them for years before I took the plunge and bought them. Also, one really great thing is I purchased all of the white plastic storage lids that go with each size and they are fabulous for refrigeration/storage etc. I use the small tulip jars with the white lids on them for yogurt which I make in my Instant Pot. I just figured out finally how to make soy yogurt. It is so delicious. You are really making excellent videos. Please do keep up the good work. Also, I have purchased these jars from Weck Co., Amazon and Williams Sonoma. I also have the small juice jars with the white plastic lids and they are invaluable to put my juices in. When I first got them I thought they would make great gifts but now I am so fond of them no way are they leaving my house! Thank you for making this video. The Weck Company site carries a jar lifter for the wide mouth jars and also a large funnel which works well. I invested in those after my first year with these jars. I also have my eye on the 5 oz. tulip jars to store herbs in. Perhaps I will purchase them for my birthday. Ta Da!

Thank you for this great tutorial. Now I can finally use my beautiful Weck jars for canning.

Those cherries are super fancy & special looking in your weck jars. I love it!

The weck jars are pretty but i personally can't justify spending more for looks and they don't hold as much as the ball jars do. That's just me. I would not pit the cherries until I was ready to consume them either. Thank you for demonstrating the ins and out on these jars too, cause you just never know. Tfs! Hugs 🤗🙏🤗

Excellent video! Thank you very much!

What a wonderful introduction to Weck jars. They appear to be a nice option with all of the parts being re-usable. Thanks for another great video!

You are an extraordinary teacher. Thank you.

I'm so happy I found your channel. You are so thorough and entertaining too. Love the Weck jars

Beautiful cherries in beautiful jars.

Thank you so much your caring to share your valuable knowledge. Love from Ireland.

I love the look of those jars as well, especially for fruits , jams and jelly

I really like those jars, yes they are more fancy then the Ball and the cherries look so pretty in them! Well done!

I love all your videos. I have learned so much. I feel I have enough knowledge and confidence to try my hand at canning due to your wonderful teaching technique. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ❤️

Just found your channel. After watching a vegetable powder vlog and this one, I decided to subscribe. I find your style of educating pleasant, very easy to follow and understand. Looking forward to watching all of your past videos and what you have to share going forward. Thanks!

You are a wealth of information. Thank you!

I really enjoyed learning about these jars. I ordered both the liter and half liter jars. Going to give it a try!

I'm glad I found this channel. I have always been afraid to try canning thinking I would do it wrong. After watching your videos I feel more confident and will give it a try.

Excellent video. I just used mine to can fig preserves!

They are beautiful. I bought some for storage; I didn't even know you could can things in them! Great to know!

Weck jars are so nice for gifts. Thanks for showing this and I love your videos. They are very informative. :D

This is a really great video and is much appreciated. Your explanation is clear and understandable and really helped me make a decision on whether to invest in these jars to test. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this, I didn’t want to use plastic while canning. I can’t wait to try this.

Great job beautiful they're beautiful

The Wecks certainly are lovely. Thank you for trying so many new things and showing them to us. I know that I would not be pressure canning now, (I had given up water-bath canning, but may go back), nor would I be dehydrating as many foods and sometimes using mylar bags without your tutorials. Plus, you and Jim as so much fun to watch! Your clear information has been a blessing to my family. (HUGS!)

So wonderful. I just ordered us some Weck jars. I'm going to give it a try!!!

I love it!!

This was a wonderful introduction to using Weck jars. We have easy access to these here in Denmark, so I'll definetely try this out. Have never done any waterbathing of the jars before, but it looks really easy.

Rose, so cute! I hope Weck has offered you a job as a sales manager, or at minimum sent you a few Weck Glasses. Very well explained. I am from Germany, and as a little boy I used the rubber gaskets to shoot paper clips :-) Thank you for bringing a bit of Germany canning culture to the USA! For me, it is a highlight to get up in the morning and see if the all have sealed! Good job on getting all of them to seal. I seem to always have one, that does not seal.

SO PRETTY & so delicious looking! Thank u for the new idea n canning jars. My my very fancy & would make good gifts!

I think my grandma had some of these as they look vaguely familiar. Good info, ty!

Great job! Love watching your channel… you are so generous to share your honest opinion and experience. I will be canning for the very first time in my life soon！ Thank you 😊

Fabulous! I love my Weck Jars. I used to live by the North American headquarters and could buy every shape and size. I also have their electric water bath canner.

Those are cute jars.

Thanks for the very informative video. I just ordered some Weck jars and am waiting on them to arrive. My plan is to use them for strawberry jam. All of your videos are so helpful, and I appreciate the thought and time you and Jim put into making them.

Absolutely loved your video, I think the Weck jars are gorgeous and quirky and will make fabulous gifts. Thanks again, I am new to your channel and am enjoying it.😎👍

Wow this was so much fun to watch. My wife and I have Ken things often on over the years, and I grew up in a family where our whole neighborhood would get together in Ken things. I just loved your video. These jars look really interesting. Thank you for doing such a great thorough job on this video.

You are awsome and funny

perfect presentation.. i dont have any of the weck jars but i can see me getting some and trying them..

Glad to know Im not the only one that says oh whoo good ok, they sealed! :-)

Thank you for this video! I have been scared of the Weck jars but I think I will try them.

Beautiful jars. I loved how thorough you was in your explanation of how to use them. The cherries turned out wonderful! Thank you for sharing. New to your channel :-)

Wow I just noticed that you look like my sister! You look younger...... I pit mine then I make half of them regular sugar and the other half regular sugar and half stevia. My husband is a diabetic, and he loves them!

I definitely want a little fancy especially if I keep the jars. When gifting to family or close friends I always ask for my jars back . They all understand & they're hoping for more 💞

Thank you Rose, very interesting and .....kind

For metal rings for ball jars. I took a metal hanger. With hook in 1 hand, and middle bottom in the other hand, pull. Stretching the hanger to long and narrow. Fold it into a hook. Hang your lids on this. Hang it nicely out of the way when not in use. You can also hang it on any knob, handle, or rack while canning. Very convenient. Great storage.

Thank you so much for the video! I bought mine from Amazon 🙂

I enjoyed this video so much I went to Amazon and ordered 6 jars LOL You answered my question about the jar lifter and I saw they are out of stock on the Weck site and they are not listed on Amazon. I think with only 6 jars I can turn my jar lifter upside down. I actually do have a couple of these kinds of jars my husband found at the flea market but they have their own clamps and the seals are old and dried and hard I use them for trinkets not canning or food. I will use mine for jam or jellies I want to keep and use. and not give away. I am 66 years old and still learning, our kids are grown and on their own but I still love to can and do things just for my husband and I

Thank you for your video on your method of canning cherries. I had never canned cherries before and really needed to know if it was ok to can Your cherries with pits still in. Thanks again!

I have learned so much from you, thank you. I've noticed the Ball jar prices have gone up quite a bit, so the Weck system doesn't seem so expensive now.

When you First showed canning with Weck jars, I was not a fan. I am a fan of the clear glass in the Weck jar. The more I watch you can with them, the more I love them!!!! Thanks for explaining the Weck jar canning system!!!! AND you Always check for bubbles!!!!!

Nice to see your channel.

These are the latest Weck jars.....with Fruit you can fill the liquid up practically to the Top,.....(no colour changes at the Top Fruit in there, because even with the vacuum, it's still under liquid))....different with meat stuff,...or anything with grease.....when that get's in between the lid and the seal you have a problem,....so There you stay below the Lid......Greetings from the Netherlands ;-)

These seem very useful for things that we are constantly going through but too expensive for anything that will sit on the shelf undisturbed for a year.

How beautiful and , yes, fancy! Thank you for mentioning soaking the cherries in ascorbic acid once pitted. I did not realize that was needed and wondered why my cherries turned brown. DUH! Even though they tasted alright before and looked OK after processing (I was making pie filling), I didn't know what had happened. I soak other fruits in Fruit Fresh, so now I know to soak cherries, too. Those Weck jars *are beautiful and would make wonderful gifts, but I'd be afraid I wouldn't get them back LOL Is that a bad thing?

I love your videos. You are so much like me. I've your lady bug out bag I would love to see one on bags for kids and babies. I saw one lady that put crayons and books in a dry canner can

When using weck jars can you stack them when storing? I'm retiring in Germany next year and plan to use them. They are not expensive over there compared to USA. I currently ball can here. How do you label them?

you need to add the 2 clips at the same time or your rubber moves and the jan does not seal. Filling to the rim lets liquid out but does not prevent sealing unless the liquid is greasy or food sits between the rubber and glass. Do not can with air pressure below 1000hpa.

I'm wondering if stacking them ends up the same as leaving clips on? Beautiful video, thank you!

Can you substitute Splenda or Truvia for the sugar? Loved your Sloppy Joe Mix by the way. I added authentic roasted/peeled Hatch Green Chile, a little Warcestershire, and BBQ sauce. My family LOVED it! It will now be a staple moving forward. Appreciate the video's.

Thank you for sharing this video. I appreciate your detailed recipe instructions and the education on the Weck jars! Planning to purchase a few also. Can the rubber seals be reused or is a new seal needed each time I can? Also, would it be safe to substitute maple syrup in place of sugar?

Yes, On the liquids siphoning out, due to inside pressures in jar, Importance of headspace to limit that effect. Of course the reverse is as true that cool jars and the vacuum wants to equalize, but the gaskets create the seal as no more air is in the jars as the steam from the item being can displaces the air. I had no doubt the jars would seal, as you washed you jars and the fill liquid was mostly water that would be squeezed out by the gasket. Yes, particles of food might have created a opening under the seal. However I would believe that water bath it would have be pressured out. Again, large particles of food yes, Liquids not so much. Heavy syrup yes to maybe in a water bath. EITHERWAY, MOIST CLEAN CLOTH WIPE, just to make sure. I mostly pressure can, once in a while water bath.

Love your videos!! Have you ever used those tattler lids? I saw this comparison and found it so informative and very clear .

Hi, Ms. Rose. I'm going to say it again. Your amazing! I love the wreck jars as well. I haven't purchased any. However they are beautiful. You can stack them? So many things about the weck jars are far better. Less space needed as well.
