Food Preservation –
Dept. 7
All canned food must be in
standard quart or pint jars with 2-piece lid with the exception of fish
and jams, jellies, and preserves. Fish, cream style corn, and pimentos
must be in pint jars only. Jams, jellies, and preserves may be in
pint or half-pint jars. Standard canning jars have a brand name.
Potatoes are not allowed in soup mix.
No paraffin seals will be
accepted.
No food coloring allowed
unless recipe calls for it.
(Recipe required; Attach to jar.)
Dried foods need not be
sealed.
*For the 2007 NCA District
Fair, white potatoes and corn will be allowed in vegetable soup mix;
however, to ensure that USDA home food processing standards have been
adhered to, the following requirement is made. If white potatoes
and/or whole kernel corn constitute part of the ingredients in any jar
of vegetable soup mix, a small label should be attached to the bottom of
the jar that indicates the number of minutes the soup mix was processed
in a pressure cooker. The recommended processing time for whole
kernel corn (@10 pounds pressure) is 55 minutes for pints, 85 minutes
for quarts. White potatoes must be processed (@ 10 pound pressure)
35 minutes for pints, 40 minutes for quarts. As a guideline, vegetable soup mix must
be pressured for the length of time required by USDA for the lowest-acid
vegetable in the mix, whether corn and potatoes are present of not.
