Early Canning Jar: Appert Jar from Wikipedia
A little history for you. . . I was looking at stuff on the net and I looked up the word "canning" and came up with the Wikipedia article below.
Make sure you at least read the FIRST paragraph. It mentioned some canned food over 100 years old; it was still edible and not poisonous, though not the most nutritious or tasty.
And here are a couple more on-line articles for some more history:
Canning/Food Processing at Britannica.com
Finally, here is a .pdf article on recommended methods of Canning and some info on some methods to avoid:
Methods of Canning from the Agricultural Extension Service of the Univerisity of Tennessee
There is a link within the Britannica.com article that suggests canning breads. This ONLY refers to commercially processed products such as Brown Bread in a can, NOT home canning.
There are no safe, tested, or recommended processes for home canning cakes, breads, bread pudding, fruit crisps or cobblers.
The take-away here is to stick to science based sources of information: University Extension services, the National Center for Home Food Preservation, So Easy to Preserve book from the UoG, Purdue University, the Ball Blue Book and the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning.
This is good to remember--thank you Darrell!
