It is recommended not to use older texts for reference regarding canning. Waterbath and pressure canning information has changed over the years to increase food safety and decrease spoilage. I know many food preservers stick to old family recipes and methods but it is not a good idea and people should rely on recently copyrighted/published information.
The Oregonian FOODday section had an article this week that discussed a woman who prepares small batches of food for preservation while cooking her dinner. Even Martha Stewart herself has not presented such a time-saving idea.

| I appreciate the tip! I recently picked up some canning and food storage books at the local library's used book sale, and they've got to be from the 1970s. Now I will certainly do some investigating on my own before blindly following recipes that are as old as I am. Thanks! |
