Hi, Tammi. Don’t know why you’d want to, but I can’t think of any reason why you could not do so. It would probably be best to follow the same boiling-water bath instructions as if you were canning them for the first time.

Hey, thanks, Ali and Joanne. Keep on cannin’! As for me, I accept canned donations :) instead of canning—just the idea of all that boiling water on a hot Kansas summer day makes me lightheaded.

Hurray for the pro-canning post! I just had a friend ask me about this last night. I will teach her to can soon…!

Exactly! No one should let rookie nerves scare them. Not even me – I’m gonna’ keep doing it, even if I didn’t get it all right this time. And I might even eat some of my badly-canned food… Because I DO eat raw oysters sometimes. I eat sushi plenty. I do eat berries off the brambles, no washing. And seriously, I am DIGGING this whole concept of canning.
