This BB is worded specifically as "Water Bath Canning". I'm wondering if canning 3 types of food (1 gallon each) in a steam canner would be acceptable for this BB, following all other requirements of this BB. Since there's not a separate 3-types-one-gallon BB for steam canning, my assumption would be that atmospheric steam canning (not a pressure canner) would fall within the spirit of this BB, but I'd love to get some clarification on this assumption. From a technical perspective, seems like steam canning is generally substitutable for water bath canning method in recipes, and uses less energy since it's only heating an inch of water, so I'm likely to use steam canning instead of water bath unless, for the specific wording of this BB, I'm required to not use atmospheric steam canning techniques.

For this badge bit, I made pureed tomatoes (called tomato sauce in the US), two batches of dill pickles, and a big batch of pickled jalapenos.

The Agee jars are 1 pint. The jars for the jalepenos are 500mL (just shy of 1 pint each). 10x500mL = 5L (1.3 gallons)

EDIT:
Sorry for the two pickles initially! I very rarely bottle a gallon of any kind of fruit (though pickles and tomato are technically fruit, haha), so it's taken a bit for me to come 'round.

I bottled some feijoas (a fruit) in syrup this past autumn. Each jar is >500mL, so 8x500mL = 4L (1.06 gallons)

Note: Shoot, I'm sorry M but you need to do three different "types of food".  You did the "pickles" type twice.

I preserved cucumbers/pickles, salsa (of varying heat levels), and green beans/dilly beans. I compiled it into one graphic because I thought it would be easier to follow.

   - Atmospheric steam canning is also acceptable (not pressure canning)
- At least one gallon per type of food
- Types of food:
  - Salsa
  - Pickles (not limited to cucumbers)
  - Sauces (tomato, apple, etc)
  - Whole fruits (no sugar, water and/or fruit juice is ok)
  - Relish
  - Syrup (elderberry, etc)
  - Juice
  - Juice concentrate
  - Jams/jellies

I canned crabapple cider, salsa and apricots. The fruit and veggies in all the recipes came from my hometown! Some from my own garden, even.
The cider was just pressed crabapple and cinamon.
The salsa was onions, a variety of peppers and tomatoes from my neighbor, and salt and spices; no particular ratios. I boiled it down a bit then bottled it.
The apricots came from another neighbor. I boiled them down so I didn't need much sugar or pectin. Those are the only 3 ingredients.

The jars need to be boiled at 25 minutes for my altitude.
