From Pathfinder Wiki
Follow these steps for successful boiling-water canning:
- Fill the canner halfway with water.
- Preheat water to 140° F for raw-packed foods and to 180° F for hot-packed foods.
- Load filled jars, fitted with lids, into the canner rack and use the handles to lower the rack into the water; or fill the canner, one jar at a time, with a jar lifter.
- Add more boiling water, if needed, so the water level is at least 1 inch above jar tops.
- Turn heat to its highest position until water boils vigorously.
- Set a timer for the minutes required for processing the food.
- Cover with the canner lid and lower the heat setting to maintain a gentle boil throughout the process schedule.
- Add more boiling water, if needed, to keep the water level above the jars.
- When jars have been boiled for the recommended time, turn off the heat and remove the canner lid.
- Using a jar lifter, remove the jars and place them on a towel, leaving at least 1-inch
spaces between the jars during cooling.
