ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENTS

All communities in New Mexico are above sea level, varying from 3,000 to 10,000 feet, with differences even within a county. Use the chart on the next page to determine the elevation of your community. Then select safe processing times for canning your chile. The boiling temperature of liquids is lower at higher elevations, so food must be processed longer or at a higher pressure at high altitudes.
