[Sticky] How to Ask a Canning Question

A complete question gets a safer, more useful answer. Please include:

• Food or exact recipe name
• Full recipe or source URL
• Jar size
• Canning method: pressure, boiling-water, atmospheric steam, or other
• Processing time and pressure, if applicable
• Your altitude
• Ingredients or quantities you changed
• What happened and when you noticed it
• Whether the jar is sealed, leaking, swollen, spurting, moldy, or has an unusual odor

Do not taste questionable food. Photos can help with equipment or seal problems, but an image cannot establish that food is microbiologically safe.
