The only thing I use my steam canner for is to can green beans or other vegetables that don't have any acid content. I have canned tuna when I had fresh albacore.

I've never made any jelly using waterbath ????

It is all hot and seals itself.
Freezer jams are really good too. (Strawberry) yum |
Have you tried rhubarb & strawberry freezer jam? Both in one jam, it even has pineapple in it.I have a great recipe for it.

If you want to try a good jelly- try the strawberry lemon -recipe is on the pkg insert with 'Ball Original Fruit Pectin' It is better than strawberry rhubarb and EZ to do!!
In agreement with everyone else--just boing bath for jellies -- Have fun it is time to start making jellies |
I never water bath my jellys. If a jar doesn't seal it is refrigerated until used or given to a grateful neighbor. I have never lost a jar of jelly in over 40 years of making jelly.
