Steamer Method
Fill bottom of steamer with 6-8 cups water and add 2 Tbl. vinegar to prevent pot from browning. Fill jars with syrup 1" from top. Wipe rims and put lids and rings on. Place jars of fruit on rack. Cover with dome. Heat on med-high 'til steam comes out then turn to med-low. When steam comes out, start processing time: 20 min. After time ends, leave covered and just turn off stove. Let it sit, undisturbed for 20-30 min. Take off lid (and leave for a few more minutes, if able) and lift jars onto towel to cool.
