Prepare for Home
Food Preservation
Many fruits and vegetables
are beginning to ripen, and
home canners should be getting
prepared for the harvest. Pre-
planning before home food
preservation can make the pro-
cess easier and safer.
"It’s a good idea to check
out any questions you have be-
fore beginning any home food
processing," says Marilyn
Haggard, a nutritionist with the
Texas A&M University Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
“County Extension agents can
tell you if your preservation
methods are safe, and will pro-
vide you with the latest re-
search-based processing times
and procedures. Using the cor-
rect procedures in home food
preservation is important." the
specialist maintains. "Incor-
rect methods can allow bacter-
ia growth in the food, which
may cause food poisoning or
lead to spoilage."
If you have any doubt about
the safety of your home pro-
cessed food, don’t hesitate to
call a county Extension agent,
she says. “Food can some-
times be saved if you act quick-
ly. Tell the agent what you
think went wrong Review the
exact steps you followed when
processing the food, being
careful not to leave anything
out.” says Haggard.
