This is Sharon Peterson with SimplyCanning. I have yet another question: When you were heating your jars in your pressure canner before canning, how much water do you place in the bottom, and how long do you heat them up? Or do you just place them in boiling water for a specific amount of time? Can this be done in a different pot? More than one question is fine. It was actually one big question.
I put the amount of water that I need in my canner and heat it up to just below boiling. You can put in the jars when the water is still cold, and then let them warm up. They have to be clean. Just warm up the jars. With my pressure canner, I put my three quarts in there. Sometimes, they want to float and fall over. I put my jars in there. When everything is warm and my food is ready to go in the jars, I just take out a jar, put the food into it, and put it back in the canner.
The intent is to warm the jars. Having one pot works best for me. Warm up the jars in the canner, and you save that extra pot. You have more space for work. As long as the steam is getting into them and warming them all up, you can just have the rack on the sides of the canner. Just feel the jars. If your water is not hot enough to get the steam into the jars, you could lower the jars down into the water.
Your jars may tend to jostle and fall over. I hope that was helpful. You guys have a great day, and we will see you in the next Canning Chat video. Canning jar lids are standardized these days and with good reason! Find resources on best practices and safety steps.

Add 1 additional minute for each additional 1, feet of elevation. When you are ready to fill the jars, remove the jars one at a time, carefully emptying the water from them back into the canner. This will keep the hot water in the canner for processing filled jars. Sometimes people choose to increase a 5-minute process time at , feet elevation for certain jams and jellies to 10 minutes so that they do not have to pre-sterilize the jars.
The extra process time is not harmful to most gels and spoilage should not be an issue as long as the filled jars get a full minute treatment in boiling water.
