Fill jars: Follow directions in "Canning ABCs: Fill and Seal Jars," leaving 1/4 in. headspace. Wipe rims and seal with lids and rings as directed.

Process as directed in "Canning ABCs: Process Jars," boiling for 5 minutes (boil for 10 minutes at altitudes of 1,001 to 6,000 ft., 15 minutes above 6,000 ft.). If your canning rack won't hold all the jars at once, process them in two batches. Cool, check the seals, and store as directed (up to 1 year).

Rinse produce, then prepare as recipe directs.

Ladle foods into jars through a wide funnel or arrange with fingers, leaving the headspace (the distance between jar rim and food) specified by the recipe. If the last jar isn't completely full, let cool, then serve or chill; do not process.

Release air bubbles in chunky mixtures: Gently run a knife around inside of jars. Wipe jar rims and threads with a clean, damp cloth so that lids will seal.

Knife

Center lids on jars so the sealing compound on lids touches jar rims. Screw metal rings on firmly, but don't force.

Lower jars on rack into water. The water should cover jars by at least 1 in.; add hot water as needed during processing. Cover canner and return water to a boil. Cook for time specified in recipe.

Ingredients you will need

Water

Lift rack with jars onto edge of canner, using tongs and a hot pad. Using jar lifter, transfer jars to towels on a work surface. Don't tighten rings. Cool completely at room temperature. You may hear a "ping" as jars form a seal.

Equipment you will use

Tongs

Press on the center of each lid. If it stays down, the jar is sealed. If it pops up, it isn't (you can still eat the foodchill it as if it were leftovers). Label jars and store in a cool, dark place up to 1 year.
