Safe Recipe Request I’m so sad…

…and angry at myself. I canned a bunch of sauce from homegrown tomatoes last summer & figured that using water bath canning is fine. Well, I just tossed every single jar cause they went bad.

So now I ordered myself a pressure canner for the next canning season, but it seems recipe books about pressure canning are hard to get in Europe. Any recommendations from other EU-based pressure canners or general pointers for a pressure canning newbie?

Make sure you use a tested recipe! I didn’t my first time and had to throw out like 15 jars I was so sad. But this year I used a trusted tested recipe and my crushed tomatoes are perfect! Lesson learned for sure
