The recipes on this website assume an altitude of 0 - 1000 feet above sea level, so adjust your pressure according to your location. You do not need to adjust the processing time, just the pressure level. I have included both altitude in feet and altitude in metres - for other Australians to find it easy to calculate too ... for example, my town in Perth, Western Australia is 57 metres above sea level. I have a dial gauge pressure canner, so I use 11 pounds pressure when pressure canning.
