I have done it that way, however most of the time I do water bath. I switched to using honey instead of white sugar and in that case I've read you have to water bath for 10 minutes. Carla,

That method is safe for jam and jellies, the amount of sugar inhibits botulism growth (I’m fairly certain, that’s why). I have done it that way, however most of the time I do water bath.

I was reading this: http://zahnzone.blogspot.com/2008/05/strawberry-rhubarb-jam.html and wondered if you use this method for jam, or if you water bath all your jam. Thanks! Carla in ID Kathie -

This is the first year I have a big enough garden to consider canning anything, and I have in-laws that know how to can, so I think I'll need to have them come help me at first. You were lucky to have your grandmother! I am like Norene- the risks of canning intimidate me.
