    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.

      Yeah I do this to can my homemade sauces. They’re basically half vinegar so I think I’m good on the acidity lol

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