Hi there, Barb! Actually the instructions for the lemon juice are in the recipe itself. You add 1 tablespoon to each quart of juice you’re making. 🙂

I’ve been canning for 40 years, and just wanted to say if the processing time in the BWB is over 10 minutes, the jars don’t need to be sterilized. But they do need to be HOT!
I heat them in the canner on simmer, take out one at a time and fill and seal, put back in simmering water. When all the jars are in the canner I double check the water level (at least one inch above tops of jars), put on the canner cover, turn up the heat and start timing when the water is boiling. The jars spend the allotted time at a gentle boil. When time is up, turn off heat, remove cover and let jars sit for five minutes. Remove to a folded towel on the counter, and don’t disturb for 12 hours. Then label with date and contents. Have fun!
How lucky are you to have such a grandmother….

Hi Julie! I’m afraid it has been a VERY long time since I did this recipe and I don’t seem to be able to find my notes on it. I’m going to make a somewhat educated guess and suggest that having a dozen quarts ready should be more than sufficient. 🙂

It’s totally safe to drink! Just give it a good shake before you pour. 🙂

Is that normal, is it safe to drink, what did I do wrong?

Hi Toni- You could probably swap out 1/4 cup of the onions for 1/4 cup diced jalapenos! I’m so glad you are enjoying the book!! xoxoxo

So different and exciting! Our favorite is the Spicy V-8. Could you recommend something I can add to make this recipe spicier and will it change any of the canning directions?
