Maria Rodale: The Basics of Home Canning

July 29, 2016

Think of canning as a precision form of cooking. When canning, you will use ordinary kitchen skills but must observe instructions exactly to ensure that the food is sterilized and safe. This is one time when you definitely shouldn’t improvise. Select Jars and Lids Use mason-type jars, which come in a variety of sizes. Pints and quarts are common and suitable for most canning. Choose from easy-to-fill wide-mouthed jars or traditional-looking narrow-mouthed jars. You can either start with new jars or recycle previously used but still perfect (no cracks or chips) canning jars. Avoid mayo jars and other kinds of glass containers because they may not hold up to processing. The lids used for canning consist of two pieces–a flat metal disk (rimmed with a rubber gasket) that covers the jar opening, and a screw-on band that holds the disk in place. Always use new flat metal disks because the gasket around each rim can begin to deteriorate after sitting in storage for 5 or more years; consequently, it may fail to seal. You can reuse screw-on bands, though, as long as they look good and have no rust.
