Pressure Canning Fruit versus Water Bathing
We have been conditioned to think that everything must be processed at 10 PSI. I can understand why many would fear the outcome if they exposed fruit to 240°F for any length of time. Thankfully, pressure canners offer other temperature ranges. At 5 PSI, we are only increasing the temperature to 227°F, which is 15°F above boiling water temperature. It is hot enough to kill harmful bacteria in acidic foods and allows us to decrease the processing time of high acid foods.
