Can Fruit

DRAFT for review only!

Because most fruits are naturally high in acid, they are safe to can in a boiling water or steam canner. Acidic foods have a pH of 4.6 or lower and include most fruits except:

• Asian pears
• Figs
• Melons
• Bananas
• Payaya
• Ripe pineapple
• Persimmons

Look for research-based recipes for fruits in the list above.  They contain added acid to make them safe.
