Before you begin, be sure to do the safety checks on your canner per manufacturer instructions. Always inspect your jars for chips and cracks and wash all equipment needed for the canning project, in hot soapy water.
*Pint and a half jars always process for quart time and half pints always process for pint times.
Be sure to check the recipe for recommended headspace and be accurate. This is important for shelf stability and safety. Consult the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving for more information. https://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html

I have fallowed your work off and on for years. I hope you have beat the health issues you have faced. I hope you will be able to put more canning recipes out there. I miss trying out your recipes. They are the best and so down to earth that even my husband enjoys them. Thank you for all you time and effort on these videos.
So so good!!!!!
HY, why is the rice wine vinegar crossed off in the recipe? Should we skip this ingredient?
it is not crossed off, you are doing that yourself by holding your curser there and clicking. Yes, you need it!
In the video you add 1 1.2 cup of sugar. I didn’t see that item in the ingredients listed?
Yes, 1 1/2 cups sugar is correct, the recipe has been corrected, thank you!
