So today I made a big batch of my turkey noodle soup. I have a lot of stock left over that I thought "Oh I'll can it!" and some left over soup.
I know how long to can it and at what pressure. (Using pint jars) but what the instructions on my canner do not tell me is how much water to put in?
It says to add water to the lowest fill line. Well that's not very much. If using quart jars that barely covers an inch on the bottom and for pint jars about 1.5 inches. There are 3 other lines in the pan but the instructions don't even mention these no clue why they are there.
So for you canners. Using pint jars do you make sure the water covers up to 1/2 way? I know it's not like a water bath where they are submerged.
Very confused here.
