  5. Pack zucchini into jars to within a generous 1/2 inch of top of jar. Ladle hot picking liquid into jar to cover vegetables leaving 1/2 inch head space. Remove air bubbles and adjust head-space if necessary. Wipe rims, center lid on jar, screw on band until fingertip-tight.

  6. Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil and then process for 15 minutes.
