So proud of myself plus a question on canning.

Good for you! May you have many many years of happy canning ahead!

Our family has a cookbook from the 1800s...it has an oven canning chart. After filling and wiping rims, put lids and seals on and place into oven at proper temp. For example...tomato products go in at 325 for 45 minutes. After the cans are removed from the oven, you can hear them as they seal. I have had great luck with this method! You can look up an oven canning chart online.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud - but oven canning is no longer considered safe and is not recommended. Yes, people did it for decades, but it isn't worth the risk.

Please read this link on the NCHFP (National Center for Home Food Preservation) FAQ page:

Wow! That is scary but I have never had a jar explode, had seals come undone or food spoil inside the jars. Shrug?
