CANNING TIP

Just a quick canning tip for those who are still in the canning mode:

If you are using a water bath canner - you will need 4 1/2" of water in the canner for 6 - 7 pints jars.
You will need 4" of water in the canner for 6 - 7 quart jars.

This allows for the water to be displaced by the jars and proper coverage for canning without boiling over the pot!

HAPPY CANNING!
