| I made 4 jars last night and I see that the recipe in my edition only gave a time for a cup, or half pint. I put mine in pints and processed an extra five minutes. I tried to be careful about air, but when I was moving the jars this morning I did see an air bubble or two rise to the surface inside the jars. And the canning water smelled a little. Should I go ahead and freeze? I don't want to reprocess. |

| Yes you will need to freeze them. You can always go to smaller jars but you can never safely increase the jar size over what is called for in the recipe. The processing time required has never been tested for the larger jars so would just be guessing. That guessing is especially risky with low acid recipes such as this. Dave |

| I've made the recipe linked below from the Ball Fresh Preserving site. It uses pints. I'm not sure how it differs from the Ellie Topp recipe, but we've found it to be quite good |

| Thank you for the input! To the freezer it goes. I will have to try the other recipe. You folks rock! |
