The link is below.
You may also contact your local University Extension Service for specifics on recipes and directions as to your local altitude.
Many Universities have lots of Canning recipes and info at their extension web sites as well. FOLLOW the Vinegar and Salts to the T. DO NOT ALTER for the sake of safety. Oh another note. If your recipe is VERY OLD like great grannies, you may want to look up another as Vinegar back then was 6% acidity and now it's 5%, or call an extension dept and discuss with someone there. It is IMPORTANT to home can safely.

your right ken, we have always been what i consider big canners but still not what a person could do. this year we plan to go over and above what we ever did both with fresh veggies and canned harvest.

thks for the links superv, and you are also correct, the minnesota extension agency outs out many brocheres on all sorts of stuff from planting,raising,havesting,home butchering,etc. the list is way too long to mention. and i am sure other states are the same.
