New Directions For Canning Some Foods Available
New canning instructions for meat and most vegetables except tomatoes are now available from the Farm Bureau office or the Iowa State College Extension Service. The pressure canner method remains the safe standard, but processing times and pressure for low-acid foods have been shortened by 26 to 50 percent for pint jars and some quart jars.
