    Today I learned that people do canning at home without a proper pressure cooker

      People have been doing hot water bath canning at home for well over a century. It works great for acidic foods like tomatoes or pickled vegetables. It’s completely safe if you follow the USDA Guide to Home Canning.

        Water bath canning is so much fun! It names the foods I like, either sugar filled or vinegar filled!

          No cap that might actually keep without boiling your bottles, you have on your hands a tomato shrub XD

        That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far
