Collapse ▲With more people staying closer to home and more interest in home gardening, there appears to be an increase in preserving foods at home this year. That makes this a good time to remind everyone about the need to have up-to-date instructions and procedures. Food preservation techniques are constantly being studied and revised. Just because “you’ve always don’t it this way” or this is how your mother (or grandmother) taught you, may not be the most up-to-date method. Also, just because you found a recipe on the internet, Pinterest, or saw it on a cooking show on television does not make it SAFE.
When answering questions about food preservation, we often seek the assistance of “So Easy to Preserve” (6th edition, 2014) a recipe and instruction book from the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension. Many consider this to be the best reference available on the topic. You can purchase the book directly from UGA and the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP). The NCHFP is recognized as a reliable and research-based source of food preservation information and their website has a wealth of information available free-of-charge.
Debbie Stroud from N.C. Cooperative Extension’s Safe Plates Information Centers conducts a live class each week on Facebook. It’s every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. and called #WednesdayStash. You can find it at the Safe Plates Food Safety Information Center on Facebook.
