[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2389897, member: 15054"] Thanks..read it all.. a lot of it i have read from old books i collect. But: I have never read water bath for jelly or jams. I have made many hundred of lbs of jams and never used a water bath. I boil my jars and lids , and the boiling jam is poured into the jars while hot. DO NOT INVERT some recipes call for it.. but i have found some of the jam or jellies will stay on the lid and eat away the coating on it. I have reused lids many times...But i boil them also...this softens the seal and I have not ever had a seal issue. I have reused them up to 3 times. If you are in a pinch this may be good to know. You guys/girls may know this on jams and jellies. The foam issues you encounter can be greatly reduced if you add a pat of butter to the mix when you are about done boiling it all.. I do this and never need to remove foam. [/QUOTE]
