I wouldn't do anything the ball canning book suggests you don't do. Most that wax they sold for canning isn't available anymore.

I was not aware of that. Thank you for clearing this up for me.

I'm sure one day our canning techniques won't be safe enough either and the government will come along and shut Ball/Kerr down... and take away our canners!!!

I use this method with beeswax but only for personal things. Like tha above person with her commercial jars - you can do it to things like relishes, chutneys and jams - stuff that doesn't really go 'off' as much as, well, a can of soup.

But again, personal use. I am proper with anything I give away. (unless it has a strict friend to friend warning of, "This is not sealed properly so eat it within 2-3 weeks or I will kill you myself")

They keep changing the rules as they go. When my kids were babies, we followed the book on how they said we should look after them. Now, everything we did has been changed and is "wrong"
