I just finished canning 32 pints of tuna! 1/2 teaspoon salt and a hot pepper in each jar is all you need!

Just read the instructions that come with your pressure canner/cooker. Each one is a little different. If you have a used one and no instructions look on the manu. website and print off the instructions. Mine specifically calls for 2 qts of water. I use my turkey fryer burner... it works OUTSTANDING!! Easy to control the temp... Best of all it keeps all the stink and heat out of the house!! Otherwise, everything that Twitch said is spot on!!

There is not one answer to canning. Try adding new things to your jars. You will be surprised what you come up with!!

Happy canning!
