CANNING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SLOW COOKER SALSA:
- Do not chill the salsa, rather place the slow cooker salsa into hot, sterile pint-sized jars with 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Place rims on each jar and shake each jar gently to remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims clean, center the lids, and tighten the bands.
- Place 3-4 jars into a water bath canner filled with boiling water. There should be at least 1 inch of water above the lids, then process the jars in a water bath. Use the guide below for times.
Process for:
*20 minutes for <1000 feet above sea level
*25 minutes for 1001-5999 feet above sea level
*30 minutes for 6000+ feet above sea level
- Repeat the entire process with any remaining jars of slow cooker salsa!
