Glenn, with all those low acid veggies I think water bath canning isn't safe.  Hate to see you get botulism.     I'm thinking your soup mix needs pressure canning.   

Please check it out, maybe with extension or your local health department... Or even the ball blue book.
Del I've been making this for 30 plus years besides eating my mom's who does it  the same way with me issues. What's botulism anyway???

Like getting a giant botox shot all through your whole body...

We can tomatoes and salsa using the open kettle method. I guess we like to live dangerously. I mentioned getting a pressure canner once and the warden was not the least bit interested.

Tomatoes in water bath ok.  Salsa depends on how much other ingredients.

I know, acidity. Still the U of M says pressure canner for tomatoes. My wife is super clean, I should think that helps.

It's not that hard, but you CAN'T teach an old dog "old" tricks.... :bonk:

As long as you reduce the size of the photo, or use the "tiny pics" app provided, you can post pictures.

I suppose, I'll have to drive to each and every members house 🏡 to show them how to do 20 year old technology.....  :rotflmao:

I liked pressure canning since it was faster than water bath and didn't heat the kitchen up so much.
