re: pressure canning fruits
Misc.It is acceptable to pressure can fruits, just not necessary as with low acid foods such as meats and vegetables. There is a chart available thru county extension offices that are comparable to water bath canning. However, my experience has been that the fruit is much softer. I prefer the boiling water bath for fruits.
You may use the pressure canner as a boiling water bath, as you mentioned, also.
With pressure canning fruits, they are normally done at approx. 6 lb. for 8 minutes or so.
Be sure to check a current Ball Blue Book or with county extension or an up to date USDA website for pressure canning foods before using your canner. Also, if it is a dial gauge, it must be tested before use each year to insure it is accurate.
