Trim tuna to fit if necessary and use trimmings to fill any spaces. Slowly turn jar while moving a thin plastic knife up and down around inner edge of jar to release air bubbles.

Let flow 10 minutes, then adjust heat to maintain a steady, moderate flow of steam to begin the buildup of pressure. Start timing on a weighted-gauge canner when the weight begins to rock, or on a dial-gauge canner when the dial reads 11 lbs. of pressure. Tuna should cook for 100 minutes. Regulate heat as necessary to keep weight rocking steadily and evenly or the dial reading between 11 and 13 lbs.

9
Remove canner from heat and let stand until pressure is completely reduced and canner is cool enough to open (follow manufacturer's instructions).
10
Lift jars from canner using tongs and set on a towel or rack to cool. Rings may be loose, but you don't need to tighten them (the lids are forming the seal). After 12 hours, test the seal on each jar by pressing in the center of the lid; if it pops up, it hasn't sealed properly and should be refrigerated and eaten within a week.

* You can double-deck the half-pints (following the canner manufacturer's instructions) or use pint jars (cook for the same amount of time as for half-pint jars) if you are canning more tuna.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are great choices for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Grgich Hills Estate Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 47 dollars per bottle.
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
