Food Preservation – Dept. 7

 

Department Chairman:  Sharp County

 

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 and relish and salsa may be in pint or half-pint jars. Standard canning jars have a brand name. Squash Products cannot be exhibited because of USDA regulations.

Potatoes and vegetable soup are both low-acid foods and MUST BE PRESSURE CANNED ACCORDING TO USDA GUIDELINES.  USDA cautions against thickening soup or adding milk, cream, flour, noodles, or other pasta to soups prior to canning because it affects heat penetration.  For recommended canning timetables, contact your county Extension office.

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.
