What a great way to save lime juice!!! I love an easy canning project!
Just found your channel . What an inspiration. I live in the uk . I have just got an allotment ,and a beginner in growing my own veg . So much to learn .
I keep getting lots of limes in my food CoOp -I juice them & can or make limeade concentrate and can it-ready for lots of yummy summer drinks and desserts😋. I often get orange juice in CoOp too-before it went bad canned it up! (So glad I remembered you doing that or I may not have to
H ought to do it! I hate food waste!!!
I decided to order a steam canner, and it's supposed to be here Monday. Thanks for the recommendation!
I well definitely remember that brand of lime juice I use lime juice sometimes
Ware did you buy a gallon jug of the lime juice
How long to water bath can the lime juice and lemon juice I don't have a steam canner
I bought one like 6 months ago. Haven't used it yet. How do you calibrate it.
I love your Ahah! Moments! Keep sharing!
Great idea
I LOVE my steam canner
Seems a waste of energy to can lime juice when you can buy it bottled for about the same price and have it on your shelves. I could see if you had a lime tree.
This is a great idea! I don't have limes growing but I do have a Meyer lemon tree that gives me bushels. I give away, I juice and can, I dehydrate to make spice, Moroccan preserve it in salt…… and on and on. But I have found the best way for me to use them is juiced and canned. Lemonade in the winter or cooking. Now I need lime juice LOL
great idea. going to do this. quick question, can I can pineapple juice from fresh pineapple?
Another great video! Definitely will try this if I can find a large bottle of lime juice! I like this idea though, not only does it save money , buying in bulk, but when you can can it in smaller jars for recipes, you don’t have to worry about it possibly going to waste in your refrigerator! Prices are crazy here too! I love grapes too, but the most I’ll pay is $1.97 lb. If the price is higher, I will go without!
I've frozen grapes and they make a nice snack–kind of like a grape Popsicle. You can also put the frozen grapes into smoothies.
That steamer canner is on my list. Lol. Could you have used all of what was left in the bottle and still used your quart and a half jar if you added enough water to top it off? Can you do top offs?
Love Lucy's ! It is around $15 for a gallon jug. Lemon water rules…
Why didn't you freeze the juice? How do you choose between freezing and canning for soups? I have seen you do both for soups. Grapes are the best! YAY!
Loved this video! Question.. why did it turn so dark?
We freeze dried lime slices and then powdered it. It is a great flavoring agent. I wonder if the heat affects the taste. Will be interested in future videos using it. It looks like it separated.
I canned orange, lemon and lime juice e this past year.
I LOVE…LOVE…LOVE my steam canner!! Such a great tip on canning the lime juice! Thank you!
I can, dehydrate and freeze dry. What foods do you prefer with what method?
Trying to use all 3 to increase my food preservation efficiency.
I only can things with a steamer. I have a glass stove top and so I can only use it to can. I shattered a glass top once so I found the steamer. 4 years later ….I bought another. Will never go back to water bath or pressure canning.

I'm sorry, but when you pulled the jars out of the canner I thought "that doesn't look good". It looked like the juice's version of curdling. I hope that you can recombine everything in the jar.
I know that you've been using the OJ that you canned, as an ingredient in a recipe. However, how does it taste just by itself?
Thank you, very helpful!
Please refer to the directions for calibrating your steam canner. You CAN NOT just go by the zone. You need to calibrate and mark exactly where in your zone the needle needs to reach. Again, refer to the directions. I see so many You Tube channels skipping this step. "A Good Life Farm" has a video about calibrating the steam canner. It is an easy step but becessary! 🙂

I recently decided that Im going to try growing Turnips this year. Would you can them like beets & carrots ? I just wanted your opinion.

Never thought of canning store bought juice, but I will. I have canned grapes when I got them for less than a dollar per pound.
I live in SE MI and will cry when I run into $12/lb grapes… I'm like you; they're my favorite snack but NOT that much! 🤣
I won't buy grapes if they're over .99 a pound, I canNOT imagine paying or SEEING $12/pound grapes 😩
I rather freeze citrus because the nutritious vslue and vitamins will be killed by canning it. I freeze mine in large ice cube trays and transfer into ziplock bags and lasts for overvtwo years in the freezer. I also fill bottles with them add a couple tsps of salt, and top it with olive oil to seal it from oxygen and i keep them in my fridge.
Absolutely love your ideas 💡 😍 ❤️ 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this Rachel. I loved your orange juice video and the lime juice is a great idea!
Awe grapes are 99cents a pound here in southern Ohio. I’d say I send ya some via mail but they probably wouldn’t last the trip. Thanks for sharing your canning videos one day I hope to get some canners.❤️
I don’t know how my fruit and citrus will fair in Southwest Oklahoma but in the past few weeks my grape vines, blueberry, blackberry & raspberry bushes and my fig, Meyer lemon & key lime tress have arrived.
