A SURVEY of home canning shows that all across the land, from
East coast to West, the same few slips cause most of the spoilage. You
can check by this list to avoid the most common pitfalls:
Use only garden fresh vegetables. Be sure You use the type <>f
closure your jars call for. Mismatched seals are a chief cause of spoil
age. Discard all ued jar rings. Make sure your jars are clean. “Burp”
before sealing them. Time your processing accurately. Test for a perfect
seal before storing. It is wise to adopt some standard set of canning
instructions—then follow it closely. Our Home Service Department will
be glad to ansiwer questions to help you in canning, freezing, or de
hydrating foods.
