canning applesause

(1/1)

Farmer Jon:
Did some applesauce in the pressure canner last night. 10 lbs for 8 minutes. I had an inch of head space. I didn't pack it down but I tapped the jar to get it down so there were no air pockets. Is it suppose to swell up like this?

Nate:
yes, it will swell because you are taking all of the air out and creating a vacuum inside of the jar.

Farmer Jon:
When I can peaches and pears in the pressure canner they shrink. The applesauce swelled up. Learn something new all the time.
