The Ball Blue book is the standard reference for safe canning of food. I can't think of any food off the top of my head that isn't heated up to some degree before canning. For example, when canning peaches, after peeling the skin off, you are suppose to heat up the peaches in the sugar syrup solution before canning. If your food is heated, you don't need to reduce the heat in the canner.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10397373534873519318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-72803313905322153572019-08-05T01:28:40.558-04:002019-08-05T01:28:40.558-04:00I am pretty experienced at canning and I'd be ...I am pretty experienced at canning and I'd be awful careful not to actually give out recipies that some one might use. You can make your own acid in cabbage by making saurkraut. You still need lids to seal if you want it to keep in a jar. For a lot of things root cellaring or drying would be much safer. You can even string green beans and make Leather britches beans. See Foxfire.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.com
