I made my first batch of salsa.. It look kinda dry ...When I turn the jar's over it kind of thuds...That can't be good. It could be because I use plum tomatos which have less water then big boys...I'm not sure what I did wrong. I cut and drianed the tomato's and put the in a collender. I boiled the batch exactly 10 minutes..It didn't look like Darlenes picture of it bubbling...I was afraid to cook it longer that it might turn out like mush... I got exactly 7 3/4 pints...Thought that was a good thing. I use the 1/3 cup of vinagar because I pc it. I forgot to use a spatular to get the air bubbles out. It looks kinda like dark paste and I can see air Pockets in the jar so it's got to be dry......I pc cooked for 30 minutes with a 10 weight.. I want to make another batch of mild so I could use some help here. Is their a way to correct the Salsa I made.. Thanks HC

Ok...My salsa is being pc...Would like to know why my pressure cooker leaks water while it heating up?..Sometimes this happens...Sometimes it doesn't. Is it because the seal wasn't sitting in warm water...The seal is 8 mouths old. Thanks.. The pc I have has a weight. It beautiful...Onion tomato's celentro, garlic are all from my DH garden..I used plum tomato's as I figured less juice and seeds..Nice and firm. Thanks

Thank you...

I can't believe the instructions...I feel like I just enter canning for dummies...Thank you so much...Your time and patience is greatly appreciated... Right now I have macs and Granny's ripe....I do have an apple orchard less than 2000 feet down the road and we do trade him veggies for apples so if you had your choice of any apple, which apple would you use for applebutter?
