Filling volume
Only use fresh produce which is in good condition for

canning.

Only use clean glass jars and accessories and check them
for any defects. Glass jars with twist-off lids or glass lids with
a rubber seal are suitable.
Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that
canning is completed evenly.
After you have filled the jars, clean the glass rims with a clean
cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.
Consult the glass jar manufacturer's use and care
instructions.
Sort and rinse the fruit. Allow it to drain completely.
Remove any peel or pits.
Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices.
If you are canning fruit with pits (e.g. plums, apricots) without
removing the pits, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or
wooden skewer as otherwise they will burst.
Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.
Vegetables should be blanched before canning to help them
retain their color (see "Blanching").
Fill the glass jars up to a maximum of 1" below the rim. Do not
pack down as this would damage the fruit/vegetable. Tap the
jar gently on a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly.
Fill the jars with liquid. The canned produce must be
completely covered.
Use a sugar mixture for fruit and a salt or vinegar mixture for
vegetables.
