cannning/preserving terms
« on: September 27, 2014, 01:19:53 PM »
so lets start off with some canning/preserving vocabulary terms.  I could honestly re-invent the wheel here but lets not do that (in the interest of time) and use what is already widely available.  below you will find several links to sites which have already done the work for us.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Canning+%26+Preserving+Glossary

http://www.freshpreserving.com/tools/canning-glossary

http://www.fromkarenskitchen.com/tips/glossary_preservation.php


some of the biggest terms that you need to become familiar with are:

Low acid foods –
Hi acid foods –
Water bath/boiling water canning –
Weighted pressure canning –
Jars –
Lids –
Rings –
Pectin –
Pickling spice –
Pickling crisp –
Botulism –
Brine –
Salts (believe me, there are many different types and kinds) –
Hot pack / cold (raw) pack –
Storage –
Vinegar (the different types and their importance) –
Why to use store bought over homemade vinegar –
Elevation (and how it effects canning/preserving) –


you must commit all of these terms to memory, because these are the things that if done wrong can actually ruin your bounty, hard work and can actually KILL you.  I am not saying this to sound negative, scare you or even turn you away from canning/preserving but to actually help you understand the importance of it.

cur, yes cur!   ;D

ok, in all fairness don is correct.  canning supplies are becoming harder and harder to find.  some of the main places you can find canning supplies are at

ace hardware
micheals
hobby lobby
bed bath and beyond
walmart (by the pots and pans area)
target

if you are unable to find supplies at those locations, below is a quick google search for canning supplies for sale over the internet.

give me a day or so to get the next installment of this put down on paper, so that I can give accurate information.

Nate, I was looking online for stuff before church today, and I found everything at Amazon.
The pressure canner I am looking at is $224 at Amazon and $236 at Walmart, online!

This probably isn't the right place to post so move it if needed.

Does anyone have a good stewed tomatoe canning recipe?
We're getting tired of all the crap added even to the "organic" stuff.

Thanks for sharing in advance.

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Thanks Nate. Mama had me pick up a bunch and I'd like to do a bit more with them than just grind them up. I know you'll understand that one!

By chance did you happen to get you a canning/preserving book?  The one that I showed on my other thread has saved my butt many a times.

Hey guys, one quick tip on jars.... since canning has become much less common nowadays, lots of people get rid of their jars. My folks normally find jars at Goodwill and the like for SUPER cheap... If you're serious about getting into canning, swing into Goodwill regularly and look for jars. Great way to save some coin.

Edit: maybe i should have mentioned this in the other thread. Will copy it there too. Feel free to delete this one if you want.
