This is why pressure cooker processing is recommended for them. Fruits, which are acid, need much less processing time, and much lower temperature in which to have the bacteria killed. Always follow the directions for your particular type of pressure cooker. One thing is generally true of all types, and that is to leave the petcock open for at least seven minutes during which time steam escapes from the cooker. Unless this is followed closely, the pressure may not be accurate, for all air must be exhausted before allowing the cooker to come to pressure. Another safe rule to follow is to allow the vegetables to boll 10 minutes in an open vessel before tasting or eating after they are taken from the can.
