Canning Peach Jam
Fill the Jars We use a 2-cup measuring cup to fill the jars with the jam. We use a measuring cup with a handle that can hang on the inside of the pot. Fill the jar to a 1/4 inch headspace. Correct headspace is important in most all of canning. We use a towel to hold the hot jar while filling it. Bernice gets to partly fill the first jar so Paul can take a picture then he does the rest of the filling. He froze his hands in the Korean War so it is easier for him to hold hot items. ⇦ Back to - Step 15 On to - Step 17 ⇨Return to Peach Jam - Page 2 |
