Do you completely cover the jars with water? I filled the container to the bottom of the rings and they aren't wanting to seal after boiling for 45 minutes.

Pressure canning, you only need a couple inches of water in the canner. Water bath requires fully submerged jars. Although, I am kinda surprised none of them sealed. I've dumped hot soup in jars and screwed the lids on, let them sit on the counter to cool and they sealed. Obviously, they were not safe for long term storage, but they sealed up.

yup cover and if you add a half cup of white vinegar to the water , you don't get the calcium scale on jars , if you don't have calcium in your water I guess not an issue , here it is hazy jars if you don't put a little in
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

That could be the problem as I don't know my own strength. I'm pressure canning now. Third go round.
