In this video I'll show you my experience with reusing lids from salsa jars/jelly jars/spaghetti jars/juice bottles to preserve fresh garden fruits and vegetables. This video is from the fall of 2020 when everyone and their uncle needed canning supplies, specifically lids and when they could not find brand new ones they simply sat and let their harvest go to waste out of stubbornness and loyalty to the ball canning guide. I chose to consult other people and found plenty of evidence online that we could be more recycle friendly than originally told. I also will show you real quick how to water bath can using old Smuckers jars. Then at the end I hope you enjoy a glimpse into our homestead.
Tomato Jam Recipe:
3lbs diced tomatoes
1C sugar
2 (sm) lemons
1T ginger
1t cinnamon
1t cloves
1t cumin
1t salt
1/2C vinegar
Medium heat in saucepan. Bring to light bubble then turn down and keep stirring until it gets to a thicker consistency. Use an immersion blender to break up bigger chunks of tomatoes if they're still sticking around by the end. Water Bath extra jars for 10 minutes or just freeze extra jam if you do not want to water bath jars.

We have a flock of chickens, a herd of goats, cats, dogs and a family serving Jesus here in Emmett, Idaho. I hope these videos help you on your own homestead journey or encourage you in your dreams of owning animals someday. God bless you!
