    Changed to new gasket. It is bigger and with effort it fits loosely. It also feels waxy and more pliable. No leaks! Reached proper pressure very fast and control if level harder so let it work at 15 pi based on the jiggler weights. The pressure gauge read 14 . Just under actually.

    Great idea. Just one word of caution . Pumkin puree is on a list to not do. I suspect bacause of the thick dense nature of the stuff. So I have always made sure my soups are rather watery for canning. My pea soup rivals any commercially canned pumpkin so I dont can it. Others might need to...

    Checked over the gasket. Nothing obvious. So tried again. Same issue. Was able to reach proper psi for right length of time though. Will use new gasket tonight to compare.

    I will reclean the gasket and reoil. Perhaps veg oil is not the best option....IDK. Oiling the gasket was an option in the instructions. Steam leaked not in just one location but along most of the rim. Odd. Will be canning again tonight ... will clean and check gasket again.

    pressure did reach the 11 piund range and held there with s reduction of the heat.... the canner leaked steam around the gasket the entire time. I did lightly oil the gasket. And uts only two yrs old n still pliable. Thoughts? Thank you.

    Putting the fruit thru a FOley food mill will remove most of the seeds. You are right, soetimes there are just oo many darn seeds and it distracts from the wonderful jam texture. If it is any consolation, I did once over cook cherry jam, and when it cooled it was almost a hard candy. Tasted...
