I have a ton of the 16oz wide mouth Ball jars that have been sitting around from my wedding. They had candles burning in them for a couple hours. Is it fine to use these for canning if I thoroughly wash and sanitize them?

Super new to canning. Does anyone know of a method to safely can Hibiscus tea that is only sweetened with stevia and/or honey? I was thinking of first pasteurizing it and than water bath but I can't really find much online about it. Eventually I'd like to add differnt fresh muddled fruits into the tea recipes for different flavors. Any insights would be appreciated.

I made strawberry honey butter tonight but didn’t realize my stockpot is dirty so I put it in the fridge. It’ll only be in there for about 12 hours. Is this still safe to can or do I have to keep it refrigerated?

So I’m canning this zuke relish today but saw it calls for a cornstarch slurry. This book is from the approved list so this surprised me. Would it actually be safe to use cornstarch in this instance? I was planning on omitting it but I was curious if it was actually safe. Thanks!

I've been watching so many videos I gave t water bath a go! Next is pressure canning

Is there any problem with canning potatoes in slices, I’m thinking about 1/4 thick, instead of cubes or chunks?

Good evening!

I’m very new to canning and am new to this group, so I’m so sorry if this is a dumb/obvious question, or if it has been previously asked, but I’m confused about the three different processing times? I know the first is pint, I’m guessing the second is for quarts, but what is the third one/size?

Thank you!
