General Directions for Canning Fruit

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure cans and seals are perfect and fit properly.

  2. Heat the fruit until boiling hot.

  3. Place the empty can in hot water, fill it to overflowing, and quickly seal it with the lid.

  4. Screw the lid tightly; as the contents cool, tighten the lid again to ensure a good seal.

  5. Store glass cans in a cool, dark, dry place away from light.
