Steps to Pressure Canning
To begin, select a recipe that has been pre-tested and approved for pressure canning.
Though ingredients may vary, the process will be the same.
Refer to the USDA’s Complete Guide to Home Canning for tested recipes:
http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html
Fill warm, sterilized canning jars with food, following the directions in the recipe for
required headspace.
Using a sterilized, flexible, nonporous spatula, gently press inward between the food and
the jar to remove any trapped air bubbles.
Place a sterilized lid on top of the jar and then add a screw band. Turn clockwise and hand
tighten in place. Do not over-tighten.
Place the inner pot into the cooker base, then put the steam rack at the bottom of the
inner pot.
Place the filled and sealed jars on the steam rack. The pressure cooker will hold up to
4 x 16 oz. jars.
Pour hot water into the inner pot until the water level reaches ¼ of the way up the sides of
the jars, approximately 6 cups (1½ L / 48 oz) of water.
