I read some books that basically describe making jams with NO added sugar... You just have to keep boiling and stirring for a LOOOONG time. That is how I made the Raspberry Preserves this year without added sugar. For the Sour Cherry it's a 3 day process and I used honey vs sugar - no pectin. Thanks! |

Can you still water-bath process, or do you need a pressure canner? |

It's still water-bath because of the high acidity. Do you have access to a list of high acid vs low acid fruits/veggies? I can dig one up if you'd like or you can look in Stocking Up - sometimes a copy will pop up on Amazon or some other retailer for $1.99. I see a used one on Amazon (good condition) for $6.60 with $3.99 shipping. |

We've got several good books, and the USDA canning guide too. |

Canning Fingerling potatoes. 1 6' Row = 7 - 10 quarts. 3 rows dug, 1 row canned, 7 to go. Not all Fingerling so it will be interesting to see what the ratio is for the Red Potatoes (and whatever varieties ND snuck in  ) |
