(Keep mixture simmering while filling jars.) with small spatula, carefully remove any air bubbles between vegetables and jar. Close jars as manufacturer directs. Place jars on rack in canner half full with boiling water, far enough apart so that water can circulate freely. Add additional boiling water if needed so that water level is 1 to 2 inches above tops of jars (do not pour water directly on jars). Over high heat, heat to boiling. Cover canner; reduce heat to medium; boil gently 15 minutes. With jar lifter or tongs, remove jars from canner; set jars, several inches apart, on wire racks. Cool at least 12 hours.
