Ball® complete home canning instructions:
What you need.
Canning recipe - see Ball Blue Book® guide to preserving or freshpreserving.com for recipes.
Fresh ingredients.
Jars and two-piece lids (lids and bands).
Prepare your gear & create your recipe:
Wash jars, lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Rinse well.
Jars must be kept warm until ready to use, in order to minimize risk of breakage when filling with hot food. You can heat them in the pot of simmering water, or in a heated dishwasher.
Prepare food using fresh ingredients and a tested recipe for home canning.
Waterbath canning:
To can:
Tomatoes, salsa, pickles, jellies, jams, fruits (whole, sauces, chutneys, pie fillings, etc.) and other high-acid foods.
You also need:
Ball® 21-quart waterbath canner or equally large stockpot with a Ball® canning rack, or for small batches, a Ball® Canning Discovery Kit™.
Prepare jars:
Fill pot with enough water to cover jars with at least 1 inch of water and heat to simmer (180 degrees F).
Fill each hot jar with prepared food. Follow canning recipe for correct fill-level. Each jar needs space between the food and the rim (headspace) to allow for food expansion.
Tip: air bubbles inside jar can impact cooking effectiveness. Remove bubbles by sliding a small non-metallic spatula inside the jar, gently pressing food against the side of the jar.
Wipe any food from the rim of the jar. Center new lid on the jar, then twist on band just until "fingertip tight." Ensure bands are not over-tight - air inside jar must be able to escape during canning.
Process jars:
Place filled jars onto rack, then lower into simmering water, ensuring jars are covered by 1 inch of water. Cover with lid, and heat to steady boil. Boil jars for the time specified in recipe, adjusting for altitude (see chart).
Turn off heat and let jars stand in water for 5 minutes. Remove from water and cool jars upright on wire rack or towel on countertop for 12 hours.
Tip: after removing jars from the canner, do not re-tighten bands that may have come loose during canning, so as not interfere with the sealing process within the first 12 hours.
Pressure canning:
To can:
Green beans, carrots, beets, meats, fish or other low-acid foods.
You also need pressure canner.
Prepare jars:
Heat 3 inches of water to simmer (180 degrees F) and follow manufacturer instructions.
Fill each hot jar with prepared food. Follow canning recipe for correct fill-level. Each jar needs space between the food and the rim (headspace) to allow for food expansion.
Tip: air bubbles inside jar can impact cooking effectiveness. Remove bubbles by sliding a small non-metallic spatula inside the jar, gently pressing food against the side of the jar.
Wipe any food from the rim of the jar. Center new lid on the jar, then twist on band just until "fingertip tight". Ensure bands are not over-tight - air inside jar must be able to escape during canning.
Process jars:
Place filled jars onto rack. Canner should contain 2 to 3 inches of simmering water.
Lock canner lid into place. Turn heat to medium-high and open vent. Bring to boil and vent a steady stream of steam for 10 minutes.
Put weight on vent and adjust heat to achieve 10 pounds pressure, adjusting for altitude (see chart). Process for time listed in recipe, keeping pressure steady.
Follow manufacturer's guidelines for cooling and removing pressure canner lid.
Remove from water and cool jars upright on wire rack or towel on countertop for 12 hours.
Tip: after removing jars from the canner, do not re-tighten bands that may have come loose during canning, so as not to interfere with the sealing process within the first 12 hours.
Check the seal:
Press on center of cooled lid. If jar is fully sealed, the lid

Other Description |
Choose the jar that fits your needs:
Jar size - Choose from over 6 jars sizes. Some jars have shoulders while others have straight sides that work best for freezing. Your recipe will guide you on the recommended jar sizes. Here are some suggestions to get you started, see chart.
Mouth size - the diameter of the jar opening determines the mouth size. Choose from either regular or wide mouth sizes. All jelly jars have a regular mouth.
Regular mouth works best with pourable foods such as jams and jellies, salsas, sauces and pie fillings or chopped fruits and vegetables.
Wide mouth works best with whole fruits and vegetables or when you need a large mouth for filling.
Over 100 years of research, testing and advancing the art of fresh preservation go into every product we sell.
