Canning is really one step beyond cooking. It is a method that applies heat to food in a closed glass home canning jar to stop the natural spoilage that would otherwise take place, and removes air from the jar to create a seal. There are two home canning methods - Waterbath Canning and Pressure Canning. Though there are many things you can preserve, understanding these two popular canning techniques will help you to get started! Technique 1: Water Bath This technique is ideal for high-acid foods. So if you're looking to can fruits, fruit juices, jams, jellies, and other fruit spreads, salsas, tomatoes with added acid, pickles, relishes, chutneys, sauces, vinegars and condiments, this is the method for you. Technique 2: Pressure Canning When preserving vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, safety is key. To keep what you're canning safe to eat, and fresh tasting, you'll use the Pressure Canning method which heats the contents to 240º F eliminating the risk of foodborne bacteria. You should also know that if even you're mixing high acid foods with low-acid foods you must use the pressure canning method. Canning Lids 101 There are three important things to know. First, Ball recommends using only Ball or Kerr brand lids. They are BPA free, and offer the safest, most reliable results of any lid on the market. The second most important thing you need to know is never use a lid twice. After the first use, the lid will no longer seal effectively, so a fresh lid must be used every time. And now for the third and perhaps best news: Pre-heating lids is not required! After extensive testing by Ball's Quality Assurance Team, they determined that it is no longer necessary to pre-warm lids before use. If you desire, it is still safe to simmer your lids before use, however, you should never boil them. Ball's recommendation for over 40 years has always been to simmer (180°F), no
