Preserving Foods
« on: February 16, 2010, 03:25:16 pm »
Hi,

I am new, and I was wondering how long food lasts once it has been canned by Boiling Method?

I don't plan on canning meat, but sauces, usually, curry, bolognaise, and creamy mushroom.

Any help appreciated here, thank you.

Welcome, why not post a bit about yourself in the Hello thread?
Can't answer your question, but jamsand sweet pickles last no time at all in this house. ;) ;D

Theoretically, it should last ages. But then it depends on whether or not you've canned it properly.

hello sage. Yes I know I have preserved tomato's and goosegogs black and red currants for years in Kilner Jars but it didn't dawn on me that the Americanism canning is the same thing in actuality.For years I've looked for a can sealer They used to have one at Rasen school in the domestic science class room I can find oudles of empty cans and lids but no can sealer.We used to wind the handle 20 times then cook the can in a pressure cooker.  ;D :farmer:

I know that this is in the USA  Sage, but this company do everything you need for home canning ...even the tins !!

I should think that somewhere in the UK someone would sell similar stuff , if not , some budding £ maker could open up a UK branch maybe ?

cheers

Cheers for that Rusty  ;D I'm not sure why home canning is so out of fashion no one seems to do them here, even though over the pond, people do it all the time. I'm not enterprising enough to want to be the distributor of it here - all I want it just one for myself, lol!

Welcome on here, Kassponia.
After reading up on it I decided a while ago that freezing the things you want to preserve is the lower fuzz option for me. If you give it a go, let us know how you get on!  :&>
