If the pH is 4.6 or higher in
a food, the food is low-acid and
must be processed in a pressure
canner. Low-acid foods are veg-
etables, meats, poultry, seafood,
legumes such as beans, and mix-
tures which contain any of the
above foods, unless the recipe is
developed as a high-acid recipe
and is pH tested. Low-acid foods
require a temperature higher
than boiling water (212 degrees
F) to destroy harmful microor-
ganisms that cause botulism and
other types of food spoilage Low-
acid foods must be processed
at 240 degrees F, which can be
achieved in a pressure canner. A
canner operated at 10.5 pounds
per square inch of pressure (PSI)
at sea level obtains an internal
temperature of 240 degrees F.
Canner pressure must be in-
creased above sea level. At 5,000
feet, a pressure of 12.5 pounds
is required to reach 240 degrees
F. The time needed to destroy
bacteria in low-acid canned food
ranges from 20 to 120 minutes.
The exact time depends on the
kind of food being canned, the
way it is filled into jars, and the
size of the jars.
The least expensive method
of preserving food is drying. It
is also the oldest. Columbus
and his crew used dried fruits,
grains, and meats on their expe-
dition to the New World. Early
settlers preserved food for winter
by drying. Dry preserves simply
by depriving microorganisms of
the water they need to grow and
multiply. In 1795, the first food
dehydrator was introduced by
the French. There are several
methods of drying; each has
advantages and disadvantages.
Methods are dehydrator, sun,
solar and oven.
The Shelton Timberland Li-
brary will be holding an informa-
tion session on home canning
from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on. Sept. 11.
Lisa DeWall and I will be focus-
ing on water bath food preserva-
tion and freezing techniques. If
you use a dial gauge pressure
canner, you can find out howto
get your gauge tested (which
should be done annually) and
where to get reliable recipes~nd
