    Default Canner rack turned black

    I canned 10 quarts of tart cherries this year and my rack for the waterbath canner turned black! It didn't get that much lighter in color when I washed it with warm soapy water when I did the canner also.
    Anyone know how to get the color turned back from black?
    Will the black color ruin anything else I can using it like that?
    I want to make some apple pie jam now that apples are coming in season but don't want to waste the time and effort ( not to mention the ingredients) if this will some how ruin the batch.
    Thanks in advance

    aluminum oxide probably.
    shouldn't get any worse or hurt what you are canning.

    No, it won't will harm anything........the one I got last year was already black......it was an old one my aunt had. I used it all last year.

    Also, an alum. pot I was using last year turned black (or darker) at the water line.
