Complete USDA Guide to Home Canning
The USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning is the primary research-based reference for home canning in the United States. It explains canning principles, equipment, jar preparation, processing methods, altitude adjustments, storage and tested procedures for specific foods.
The guide is organized into sections covering principles of home canning; fruits; tomatoes; vegetables; poultry, red meats and seafood; fermented foods and pickled vegetables; and jams and jellies.
For safety, follow the current tested procedure for the exact food, preparation method and jar size you are using. Older family recipes or untested internet recipes should not be assumed safe.
