Use Up-to-Date Home Canning Information

Use Up-to-Date Home Canning Information

Food preservation questions have started arriving at the Brown County UW-Extension Office in the past few days. Use only up-to-date tested recipes. Current canning instructions date from 1994 to the present.
Creativity is not recommended when home canning. Follow the instructions exactly and measure carefully. Open kettle canning and oven canning are no longer recommended.

Good sources of accurate information are listed below.
