Canning Tips From Lynn On Preserving Vegetables
Lynn advises on preserving vegetables by canning noting salt may be added during packing or heating later, and may be omitted for diet. Do not can overripe vegetables as ripening damage often ruins the final product.
Food canning tips to prevent spoilage and color loss
If storage is hot the jar seal may fail from expansion of contents. Freezing and thawing harm flavor and texture of canned products.
