I am going to have to find the manual. I do have the Ball canning book that I received from my DH's grandmother so will be checking that out. It does seem like it was all done in vain, but got to get back on that horse and ride the canning world again. I still have more tomatoes and pears to do so will try a batch or two with the Pressure Canner, and be sure to put the rubber stop in and use the knob for the pressure to be sure is at the right pounds of pressure. Thank you ladies so much for the assist. Going to keep these kids fed during the winter. less cooking during winter for me so I can quilt more.
