2. Prepare the Food: Follow tested recipes for safety and acidity levels. Prepare food as directed, ensuring it's clean and free of defects.

3. Fill the Jars: Use a funnel and headspace tool to fill jars leaving the recommended headspace (usually 1/2 to 1 inch). Remove any air bubbles with a chopstick or skewer.

4. Wipe and Seal: Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp towel. Place lids and screw on rings hand-tight.

5. Process in the Bath: Submerge sealed jars in boiling water for the recommended time (usually 10-20 minutes for water bath canning).

6. Remove and Cool: Use tongs to carefully remove jars from the boiling water. Place them on a wire rack to cool.

• Use only tested recipes from reputable sources.
• Process food for the full recommended time.
• Check seals for tightness after cooling. Loose seals may indicate spoilage.
• Store canned goods in a cool, dark place.
• Discard any jars that show signs of spoilage, such as bulging lids, cloudiness, or off-odors.

Water bath canning is a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor that allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labor throughout the year.
