Be sure the jars are sealed and the juice smells fine. If it does, you can sometimes clear the juice by boiling it then running it through a cloth strainer. If not, you can still make jelly from the juice, but it may also be cloudy. The taste will not be affected. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n<p><strong>My canned soup smells like kraut!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Today I canned some homemade veggie soup. It had the usual cast of characters including cabbage. Toward the end of the canning session, my kitchen began to smell like kraut. Is this normal? I canned quarts at 10 pound pressure for 90 minutes. Also my recipe calls for \u00bd cup of vegetable oil, but I left it out since I couldn&#8217;t find any canning recipes that called for oil. Could I add it or should I wait and add it when I open a jar to heat up for dinner? Also, I am so excited &#8212; I just placed an order for 18 dozen Tattler lids! <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cindy Baugh<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Dandridge, Tennessee<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Any time you home can with a cabbage family vegetable (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.), the kitchen will smell like cabbage! Nothing to worry about. I wouldn&#8217;t add the oil to canned soup before processing. You can certainly add it after opening a jar to use. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloudy canned fruit juice A few years ago I canned several kinds of fruit juice to use to make jelly.
