Hi Cindy, I raw packed some chile peppers (jalapenos, seranos,) from our garden in a vinegar brine. I did not blanch them before- can that interfere with the product?

How long can you wait till reprocessing?

Use this link for feedback. Thanks!

Did you say that all canning jars can be used to freeze things? I know you have to leave room for the food to expand in freezing, but I have still had a high breakage rate with Ball and Kerr jars. Could my chest freezer be too cold?

Thank you for that, Rachel…it’s been quart jars breaking!

could you repeat info on size of jars & safety & brands

Freeze-safe jars (for Kerr/Ball) are all jars smaller than pint-size. For pint-size jars, only the wide-mouth jars are freeze-safe.

Is the Taos County extension office open at this point? Could you share the contact information for them?
