" I discovered a wonderful trick to keep the jars from being limed up (actually a friend discovered it, told me about it, and I tried it!)..

Anyway, we have such hard water that the outside of the jars get really limed up when pressure canning.  She said to add a cup of vinegar to the water and that keeps it from happening.  and it does!!

Thought I'd share this wonderful tip in case anyone else has problems with lime on jars! "
