Hey guys,

This is from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving page 364. Is it safe for me to can this in half pints? I remember hearing that you can decrease the size of the jars when canning but you can never increase. Is this correct?

Thanks!

    To my understanding, you can go down in jar size, but keep the same processing time. so you could do these in half pints, but you would still process them for 35 min. You may be able to find a comparable recipe with the same ingredients specifically for half pints, which might work better.
