Free Printable Canning Jar Labels & Win a Pressure Canner!

by Honey Rowland Leave a Comment

Free printable canning jar labels & win a Pressure Canner at HoneysLife.com I made some free printable canning jar labels for you!  Well, really I made them for me ’cause I hate grabbing and opening a jar of spaghetti sauce when I want a thick chunky salsa but I’m sure you can relate.  😉  Labels are good.  They let you know the difference between pints of jalapeno jelly or cherry jelly.  Trust me.  Jalapeno jelly on your morning biscuits ISN’T good when you’re expecting sweet cherry. shudder

Like fresh organic food?  Canning recipes make that possible all year at a FRACTION of what it costs to buy each week.

AND!  Today you’ve the chance to win a lovely pressure canner!  You know those vintage pressure canners aka days of fearing you’d blow up the place?  Yeah…no longer an issue.  Today’s canners are safe….as long as you’re not an idiot. 😉  I use a pressure canner when I’m canning peanut butter or pumpkin since they’re not acidic and they don’t taste good by adding vinegar or lemon.  It’s safe, easy and makes fresh organic foods VERY affordable.

And, I know it’s not the mirro 22 quart pressure canner but 15.5 is a GOOD size.  It’s heavy to have to haul the canner & water out of the sink and to the stove.  This All American is also a good size because if you’re starting out it’s less disheartening to boil the food over, have jars that didn’t seal up in smaller amounts you don’t have 10 jars of jelly in your fridge.  I’m not speaking from experience either. 😉

Anyways.  It’s not complicated to use one.  Here’s a video showing you just how easy it is.  Just don’t watch the out takes where she blows the lid through the ceiling.  haha  Just kidding! 😉  Sorry.  I couldn’t resist.  It’s really easy.  You just need to respect the science.  You have a lot of HOT water, under pressure and you’ve glass inside too.  I know that while I’d watched mom & dad season after season I was still nervous the first time I did it alone.  I would have been a better mom/less of a screaming harpy if I’d done it on a day when Ben could have taken the kids somewhere else.  Trust me.  No kids under 10.  You’ll thank me later.

So…why do you pressure can vs water bath can?  Simple…to kill bacteria.  Acidic foods have enough oompf to them to kill off bacteria so you use a water bath canner for salsa’s, jelly, etc.  However you have to watch things that are thick like pumpkin, meat and such.  So you pressure can and kill off all the ickies and basically “boil them aLIVE!!! mwahahaha!”  I totally say that in my head like a villan does.

There’s all kinds of information about using a pressure canner.  I recommend you read it first…this is where the idiots tend to ignore info and blow up the house. And here is where you’ll click —> All American Pressure Canner Manual.

And, speaking of The All American Pressure Cooker Canner Giveaway

About Honey Rowland

Organic since it was a dirty hippie word is an easy way to understand me. With 3 kiddos (7, 14, and 16) and one bearded hubby I raise chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, rabbits and Great Pyrenees livestock guardians on our organically ran mini farm in Ohio. A bull calf and heritage breed pigs have recently been added, along with an impending move into our less than 600 sq ft tiny home that's more and more off grid with each solar panel we buy.

Homeschooling, green living, self-sufficiency and natural parenting (but with yelling) is the norm here. Any skipping through the tulips tends to end with a face plant in chicken or duck poo but being a "glass half full" kind of gal I can smile 'cause the poo is organic and non-gmo!
