Pressure canning headspace?

Posted by outdoor_andy 7 (My Page) on

I am new to pressure canning. I am at 5200 elevation. I understand I need to increase the pressure, but do I also need to change the amount headspace in each jar? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks

Headspace remains the same as called for in the instructions regardless of the altitude.
