I've never really canned anything and all this talk of pH and water baths is intimidating me a little.

I'm definitely going to try it this week, and I'm very excited :] I found an applesauce recipe a few years ago that I really like, but not only does yours incorporate blueberries, a tasty deviation from the norm, it sounds much healthier.

This combo sounds great - I can't wait to make it! Thanks for sharing. Awesome - I make applesauce every fall and freeze it in small containers for lunches - plus some in qt bags for suppers.

The bubbles on the sides after the jar is processed comes from the fact that the fod item boils inside the jar. The air in the headspace of the jar is where those air bubbles come from--there is no worry. When you take the jars out of the canner, they are still bubbling on the inside--you can see it. When they cool off and stop bubbling some of the air is going to stay trapped below, just because the food cooled before the air could work its way to the top. The reason you want to get trapped air bubbles out before you put the lid on is to make sure that the headspace of air at the top of the jar is not too great to make a good seal.
