Hi all. I'm really hoping to hear an answer to Matt's question. I'm going to try canning for the first time this year and want to make sure I do it correctly. My mother has always canned salsa using the "turn upside down" method and we've never had a problem. However, I told a friend about this and she freaked. Lora Note, too, that one recipe calls for processing for 5 minutes and the other calls for just filling the sterilized jars, capping them, and turning them upside down to cool. Any thoughts here? By the way, the "turn upside down" method is the one used by my parents -- I ate their pepper jelly for 21 years and never got sick from it -- lucky?
