This video describes in detail how to use the water bath canning method. This was the first canning process I used when I made raspberry jam when I was an eight year old with the help of my mother of course. And to this day raspberry jam is still my favorite.

I use the water bath mainly for tomatoes, pickles and jams or jelly and it’s very easy. We have an old family pickle recipe that we always make and are a “must have” for holidays. I also enjoy stewed tomatoes for lunch in the winter. It’s like stepping back into summer.
