Almost boiled dry
Canner almost boiled dry
Hi all,
I ran a load of squash a bit too hot, and forgot to top up the water after the previous batch, so I got worried about it boiling dry.
In the end, there was a small amount of liquid, mostly siphoned out of the jars, and some of the pumpkin juice was scorched on the bottom of the canner.
Since it wasn’t bone dry, does that mean the batch was fully processed? The jiggler was jiggling at the normal rate the whole time, the only difference was that I could smell the pumpkin juice carmelize and begin to burn by the last fifteen minutes of the batch.
My partner was the one to take the load out while I was at work, and he cleaned it all before I got home, so I am having a hard time to tell what to do.
He sent me a video, i attached screenshots. Please let me know what you think!

[According to this,](https://ask2.extension.org/kb/faq.php?id=856876) you’re safe as long as the jars sealed and you still have half a jar of liquid.
