Canning methods differ TORONTO â€" lt‘s unâ€" necessary to sterilize mason jars when home canning if you use proper canning methods. ac- cording to food specialists at the Ontario Food Council. ministry of agriculture and food. But it is necessary the jars be washed in hot. clean. soapy water. rinsed in hot water. then kept hot until being filled with the food being canned. When food is processed in a hot water bath or a pressure canner. the jars are sterilized along with the food. However. in the case of openâ€"kettle preserving. which is recommended only for jams. jellies. relishes and some pickles. the jars must be sterilized before filling since there is no further heat application and thus no way to ensure jars are bacterialree. The easiest way to keep mason jars hot after washing is to place them. half»filled with hot water. into a very large pot. also half-full of hot water. ' A rack or a piece of board in the bottom of the pot will keep the jars away from direct heat and prevent them from breaking. When canning fruit jars may be kept hot in the water bath processor instead of a separate pot. Remove the jars one by one from the processor‘ and. after filling them with the fruit. replace them. Pressure canner must be used for vegetables. and a separate pot is required for keeping the jars hot. n@‘c‘Futudé is Nam.“ ‘Bca‘Brg‘erllcr (J Call York and save! i AUTO, HOUSE {6‘ lle INSURANCE Get an tmmeoiateQUote personal attention prompt decisions maple news It is essential. he said. for young people to plan their changes. know themselves and what their limits are, Think positively. he advised. work can be fun ~ it's possible to do almost anything you want to do He talked about the importance of empathy and urged students to laugh a lot Keg Plume. who thanked the speaker. responded to Dr. Birkett‘s remarks in regard to man's ability to produce a copy of a person. “If it really happened. and a million Dr. Birketts were reproduced. we‘d all die laughing Friendship Valedictorian Valerie Murchison observed that many ot the graduating class would be separated for the first time since kindergarten as they went their ways to different schools.
