    This is one of my favorite recipes, especially when I can find good tomatillos. I use the maximum amount of jalapenos to make it spicy and sour.

    Rose Red Homestead has a video following the recipe, where she reads the recipe out of the book. Otherwise I cannot find it posted anywhere.

    However, I routinely am having jars fail to seal. Of the 6, yesterday 4 of them didn’t seal. I popped them into the fridge as soon as they were cool to the touch. Two developed false seals, and two just didn’t seal. There wasn’t really any liquid loss of anything in any of them. I did notice that the two that sealed had a bit more liquid to food ratio than the others.

    I made this soup a couple weeks ago, out of the book and no seal failures. But I’ve only had one jar ever fail to seal in all the ones I’ve canned 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Is it just this recipe you have trouble with? Personally, I found that bringing the temp up slowly rather than turning on high and then turn down when pressure is reached (I hope that makes sense) resulted 100% seal rate.
