Reprocessing Salsa
I was using a new canner for the first time and while processing salsa I could not get the 10# control to jiggle. I processed for approximately an hour and the canner was under pressure during that time. All the lids are sealed but I’m not sure they reached the 10#’s of pressure required. I now know that the weight was not on all the way. Should I reprocess the salsa? It has been 8 hours since I processed them.
