Canning/Jarring - How Do I Not Kill Myself?
I was going to attempt to can (glass jar actually) my A-mazing strawberry jam tonight. Any thoughts on how I can avoid botulism?
This article pretty much says don't even think about it unless you have a canner - I don't and was going to do open-kettle.
Thanks arm1970. That's what I was planning to do til I mentioned it to a few friends, and was told that you have to send your jars for testing. Which seemed crazy and financially impractical. Then I started reading these articles.
Is there an easy way to tell if a jar of jam went bad once you open it?
