Double stack canning #880384

Asked August 06, 2024, 12:21 PM EDT

I am canning applesauce in half pints. Can I double stack, half pints in a water bath canner and what would the processing time be?

Tillamook County Oregon

Expert Response

You can stack jars in a water bath canner as long as you can get 1 inch water over the top of the jars and have room for the water to boil.  I would put a rack between jars, so they don't tip over.  The processing time would be 15 minutes once the water returns to a boil.
