Low temp pasteurization #879905

Asked August 02, 2024, 1:13 PM EDT

I have used the low temp pasteurization method for my dill pickles. Now I have moved to 1600 feet altitude. Do I have to adjust processing time like you do with conventional boiling water processing?

Greetings. No adjustment for elevation is needed with low temperature pasteurization.
