CANNING GUIDE
CAUTION: Improper canning can lead to serious health consequences. It is important to read this
guide carefully and follow all steps to ensure that food is processed to preserve its nutritional value
and is safe for consumption.
The canning process allows for preparation and preservation of all your family's favorites, includ- ing
fresh and cooked fruits, vegetables, meats, jams and jellies. Canning is a great way to bring "out-of-
season" foods to the table easily and less costly.
A. PRESSURE CANNING
WHY PRESSURE CANNING?
• Pressure canning is suited for all foods, particularly those containing little acid, such as vegetables,
meat, and seafood.
• Safety Precaution: Use the exact time, temperature, and method specified in the recipes to protect
food from harmful bacteria, mold, and/ or enzymes. Altering times given in a recipe may destroy the
nutrients and flavor in foods. Food enzymes can promote the growth of mold and yeast, which in turn
will cause food to spoil a temperature of 212° F with steam canning methods can destroy these
agents. However, other contaminants, such as salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, and clostridium
botulinum – the cause of botulism – may develop. Killing these harmful bacteria requires a tempera-
ture of 240° F, which is provided only by the pressure canning process.
