My mom says that any time a jar doesn't seal completely on the first boil, she just puts it in the fridge and uses it immediately, thus if there is any contamination, it is never allowed a chance to get out of hand and become a problem. Most instructions say that if a jar doesn't seal on the first round, to reheat and seal it. Don't listen to them and I bet you have no problem. Additionally botulism hardly ever occurs anyways, theres more fear mongering than is necessary by canned veggie companies because they want you to buy theirs of course! Canning is a pain if you aren't gardening a ton anyways.<br />Good luck!Anna Ramosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-84097400459153028862008-10-10T19:18:00.000-06:002008-10-10T19:18:00.000-06:00I have been wanting to try canning, too, but I hav...I have been wanting to try canning, too, but I have been scared to give it a try.

Then after all of that hard work, I worried about botulism too. Also, I don't think our salsa was even that good. My grandma always used to can, and hers was the best! I just can't get mine to taste the same as hers. So, if you find a good recipe, you'll have to pass it along. The three of us ladies get together every month or so and do domestic type projects. We call them frolics (like the Amish). We're a bunch of nerds, I know, but it is a lot of fun. You're apples look good to me.Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504005718556813461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-28647850516824428452008-10-09T09:59:00.000-06:002008-10-09T09:59:00.000-06:00Canning scares me almost as much as scissors and g...Canning scares me almost as much as scissors and glue.
