Re-using canning bath water
Hi,
This is my last question tonight, I promise! Is it ok to re-use the water in the canning bath for processing another batch of jars? Thanks, Sara |

But after that (even tho I have soft water in the house) I get deposits on the jars. Nothing dangerous in that, just icky white stuff around the jars. Edrena |

Finishing up an article and making sure that the tea plantations are prosperous. I slept once in the late 90's and missed a lot. Broke that habit even easier than quitting smoking. Pastorio |

OK, the vinegar trick I know - what do you do for the rust colour? I just made 2 batches of jam, one after the other, and reused the water in the BWB. I guess my canner rack is rustier than I thought, because now there's a rust colour on all the jars. I'm gonna toss the rack, maybe even the canner, but how do I get the rust deposit off the jars?

Run water in the sink, about lukewarm, use one of those scrubber things, not the metal one but the green tightly woven plastic one. Got the rust and calcium deposits right off. Just don't mess about with the lid. George |

Learned quick to remove the rack while it was still hot and let it dry off so it wouldn't rust. My alum giant canner, just gets discolored. I take my glasses off and don't look too closely. And never leave leftover lids in their hot water overnight. They'll rust even quicker. Edrena |
