before pressure canning. Place the metal lids in hot or boiling water according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Ingredients:
•
Select fresh, firm ingredients (not overripe). Sort according to size and ripeness.
•
Wash and prepare ingredients.
•
Put the ingredients into the jars. Most ingredients can be put into the jars while raw. Press down
raw ingredients because these tend to shrink when cooked. Ingredients can be pre-cooked or
partially pre-cooked before being canned. Warm ingredients should not be pressed down after
being filled into jars.
•
Finish filling the jars by adding syrup, juice, or water, leaving a space of 2 cm at the top. Add salt
(if desired).
Placing Jars in the Pressure Canner:
•
Remove air bubbles by sliding a spatula along the inside of the jars.
•
Clean the rims of the jars and attach the lids according to the manufacturer's instructions.
•
Place the canning rack in the pressure canner and add the recommended amount of hot water for
hot pack canning. For cold pack canning, use room temperature water. Add 1 tbsp. of vinegar or
cream of tartar to prevent the water from staining the interior of the pressure canner.
•
Place the jars on the canning rack in the pressure canner. It does not matter if the jars touch
each other. Warning: Always place jars on canning rack; never place jars directly on the bottom of
pressure canner or on other jars.
Note: the 22Qt-litre pressure canner comes with two canning racks and allows one rack to be placed
above the other, making it possible to process 2 rows of 250 ml (= 8oz) and 500 ml (= 16 oz) jars.
Place one rack at the bottom of the pressure canner and the other on the first row of jars.
•
Close the pressure canner. When properly closed, the lid and pot handles are aligned.
•
Having removed the pressure regulator, place the Pressure Canner on high heat until steam
begins to exit the vent pipe. Continue letting Pressure Canner release steam for 10 minutes.
•
After 10 minutes, place the pressure regulator back on the vent pipe.
