I know they say 2 quarts or 4 pints but what is the requirement if using half pints? I know the half pints process for the same time as the pints do. I have an approved recipe from healthycanning.com for plain Jalapenos but I want to do half pints and I just want to be sure I know the minimum before I do it. I know I won't likely have enough to need to double decker them. It's a full grocery bag full of them from the garden final harvest.Thanks

It’s a volume thing so it should be 8 half pints to be equivalent to 2 quarts.
Edit: you can add in jars of plain water to reach the minimum if you don’t have enough jars of peppers!
A half pint is 8oz.
A quart is 32 oz
You’d need to have 8 of them in there (8 x 8 =64) to hit the 2 quart minimum.
