only in America is it called canning
the correct term is 'preserving'
and we use glass jars as containers
not tin 'cans'.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75972
The term "canning" is appropriate. In the ol' days, when a lot of women cooked only on wood stove, the long cooking periods for preserving in jars was very difficult, especially in the summer.
The USDA, or someone, set up canneries around the country and women were allowed to take prepared veggies to the cannery and "put up."
Thus, we get the term "canning" for home-preserved food in containers.
When gas cooking stoves became available for home use, a lot of the home canning was done by putting the jars of food in the oven and heating to a certain temperature for a specific time.

I use a very similar recipe as this. The only difference is that I add powdered cloves (half as much as the tumeric amount), and I add a couple diced sweet bell peppers to the mix. GOOD STUFF!!

Re: Recession Proof GLP: Canning Vegtables, Meats/Cheeses & Other Foods
there have been complaints from a few of my friends across the country (to include myself the other night)
even tho canned in pressure canner - food is going bad.
we're suspecting this might be deliberate?? because of codex and possible food hoarding laws.

This is so true. We have had problems with pickles in the last 2 years.
My wife, mother and grandmother have been trying to figure out what the issue was and I think you just gave me the answer.

Cloudy and foamed 119 jars in two years. They were all with new lids.
We have ran out of the gold and purchased the new lids 2 weeks ago for upcoming canning. I will be returning these lids and start looking for the old ones. Could be a hard task.
Once again thanks so much for pointing this out. It is the ONLY change from a generational canning recipe.
