Canning Time Recommendations From Iowa Study
A two year study at Iowa State College Home Economics Division tested hot water bath canning. Results show string beans need two and a half hours for best sterilization, Swiss chard and tomatoes require acidity, and timing varies by jar size. Pints and quarts have different required minutes. Immediate processing after harvest reduces spoilage and bacterial growth.
