That's usually 2 to 3 inches deep; this is short-time canning so I think 2 inches deep would get the job done, especially if you use half-pints like I often do. You don't want your jars to get any water in them, I try to balance them on the rack across from each other as I'm filling the canner so they don't fall over before I get all of them in.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-62531525211674085342022-11-01T08:33:47.367-05:002022-11-01T08:33:47.367-05:00I'd you pressure can , how much water should b...I'd you pressure can , how much water should be in the canner?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-83125857508690138332018-01-05T02:15:56.176-06:002018-01-05T02:15:56.176-06:00Thank you so much Sue and Myrna!

Toast in low oven until garlic is lightly browned and smells heavenly. Add approx. 2 pounds of pecan halves and stir around to coat. Toast in low oven, occassionally stirring and sprinkling with garlic salt. Once toasted allow to cool. I then pour into large mason jars and use my food saver to extract all the oxygen from the jars. Yes, they have olive oil on them but its very little once toasted and nuts contain natural oil anyway.

You want your nuts to be dry when they are canned this way, or they will mold.<br />This is a USDA recommended recipe - I might not want to mess with it. The only spiced nuts I have seen are not canned for long-term storage, just kept in an air-tight container or jar for a short while. With this recipe, they keep with pretty good quality for up to 2 years.<br /> If you just sprinkle them with spices I would think it would be ok; remembering that some spices get stronger when canned.<br />We like a plain recipe so they can be used in multiple ways - just more versatile.<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-51091974628455290152014-04-12T08:20:05.320-05:002014-04-12T08:20:05.320-05:00Do you think the nuts could also be spiced when to...Do you think the nuts could also be spiced when toasted?Beth Wallacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-16541907846865042962013-12-08T20:54:39.198-06:002013-12-08T20:54:39.198-06:00Yes, I heated them and then wiped the water off. ...Yes, I heated them and then wiped the water off.
