Keep your pandemic crop? Start slowly, experts say
Canadians who have grown their own gardens this pandemic summer and are looking to remove their premium for the first time, start modestly, says a woman from Edmonton who has been canning for years.
“You don’t have to take it all weekend,” said Johwanna Alleyne, who teaches canning categories and runs a pickle company in Edmonton called Mojo Jojo Pickles, which produces everything from ketchup to jelly and seasonings. “Start with undeniable pots, such as making one or two pots of anything you’re proud of. . .
This year there was an explosion of interest in gardening, as the pandemic forced others to stay closer to home. Similar to the initial rush for toilet paper and flour, other people now face a shortage of Mason jars that are used to buy their completion and cultivated vegetables.
Alleyne said that she had actually seen other people getting into canning and marinating for the first time this year. “I didn’t know that pickles were a must-have service, but it turns out to be the case,” he told CBC Radio. The Current. “I think we all liked to slow down a bit. And fresh, genuine food, smart taste and the convenience of smart flavors become important. “
With pickling, the amount of acid in the pot and how it fills up are important, as are the processing time, Alleyne said. Canning can cause deterioration or botulism. If pots to buy peaches or nectarines are not ready correctly, for example. , you may notice the air bubbles, which will make the canned fruit slowly worse.
