Canning Spinach Attempt #2

If yall are following my spinach saga...I tried canning another batch of spinach.

This time I blanched it for 10 mins and then crammed as much spinach as I could in the jar and poked around with a butter knife A LOT to make sure all the air was out and filled the water up to the brim before sealing. 

And still, not good......... 


Im really getting angry at myself here. 

I have to wonder whats taking all my water away? It is at a higher level than my first attempt tho, so I must be getting somewhere.... Is it that Im not blanching it long enough? 

I think ill blanch it longer next time and not cram it so full and fill it with water as I did with these. 

THIS WILL NOT BEAT ME!!! I WILL OWN THIS SPINACH!!! 

Anyone got any other ideas as to whats going on here?
