Well, of course I knew that it would work, I just had no idea how easy it would be!!
As a hard-core canner, I have always done the traditional "stock up on fruit-set aside a whole day-sweat & slave for hours-make a GINORMOUS mess-boiling water everywhere" type of canning.
But no more! Now that I have a steam canner & my new FreshTech, all is different!
From frozen juice & fresh fruit to strawberry jam, apple jelly & grape jelly, these 9 jars were 4 batches in my FreshTech & took about 2 hours start to finish. That's amazing! And YUMMY!!
I watched a movie while the jam was cooking.
I took a shower while the apple jelly was workin' its stuff.
Oh, and I threw the grape jelly in just for fun & let the boys watch it turn & turn while I did dishes.
This is fun- I think I'll make some more tonight!

I was hoping you would do a follow up post about that purchase! I want to see that thing in action sometime. I am feeling quite tempted to get one...
Oh wow! That's really a neat contraption! I had some of the best homemade jam of my life not long ago and it got me thinking that I should really start making some myself. With your contraption maybe I wouldn't be so intimidated.
fun...you're right that it is a whole lot of work "normally" but this looks like you might actually use it on a regular basis. I have a cookbook with a whole lot of different jams & jelly recipes...
I have no clue what a Fresh Tech is. CAn you come teach me how to do this? I really need to do this on my own and feel confident. You seem like a master at it!!
Wow next time you are ready to do it again call me I want to come watch and learn more! :)
Those are beautiful jars! What's FreshTech? I've never heard of it.
