My mother has been canning this way for over 50 years and no problems. However, when I can tomato juice, I use the lemon juice and boil the sealed jars for about 25 minutes in a water bath to be sure any bacteria is destroyed.
No lemon juice ? Or acid substitute for 1 quart I was told to add 2 Tbsp lemon juice because of food safety when canning tomato products. Just wonder what mama says about that as she looks like shes is a pro
whats the bb date?
Check the ‘best before’ date. If it doesn’t have one, then it is too old.
probably… canned foods last pretty much forevor
no
There should be an expiration date on top of the can. They are usually good for a couple of years.
Open it and taste it. Then you will know. If it’s fizzy or tastes wrong throw it out.
Check the best before date.
its only a year old…yes you can use it…canned foods have a best before date as a guideline…that the product is best before this date not like fresh produce that has a use by date as the food would be deemed dangerous/hazardous to health.
canned foods can be stored for years..and still be ok to use!!
well that’s not a hard question. Just check the best before date on the top or bottom of can. It should last.During the war in Iraq,some people caught up in the fighting were found two years later. They were living off tinned food all that time and not one of them fell ill.
Probably not. Check the use by date.
