Autumn Harvest – Sweet Potatoes

Now is the perfect time to can sweet potatoes – they have been on sale for $0.25 per pound! We purchased enough sweet potatoes to do about 30 quarts.

Sweet Potatoes

Method:
Boil whole sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes or just until slightly tender. Drain. Allow to cool slightly. Peel. Cut into large chunks and place in Mason jars. Add 1/4 tsp. Fruit Fresh if desired. Cover with boiling water leaving 1 inch head space. Place on lids.

Process for 90 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure or 65 minutes for pints.

Note: I live above 1000 feet so I have to pressure can everything at 15 pounds of pressure. (I do not have the dial guage canner.)
