Be Careful With Home Canned Vegetables Commercially canned vegetables need only to be heated to be'ready to eat. Because some vitamins and minerals are in the cooking liquid, Extension consumer specialists at The Penn sylvania State University remind you to serve this liquid with the vegetables whenever practical-or use it in sauces, soups or gravies. But the Extension specialists say that if you’re not ab solutely sure that home canned vegetables have been processed correctly at the recommended temperature, bring the vegetables to a rolling boil in the liquid. Then cover and boil for at least 10 minutes. Boil spinach and corn 20 minutes. Remember not to use food that shows signs of spoilage such as foaming or off-odor during heating. Storlnf Foods In Open Csss It is safe to leave food in sn opened can, but make sure you store the can in the refrigerator. Extension consumer specialists at The Pennsylvania State University explain that some acid foods may develop a metallic taste after standing in the can inside the refrigerator for a while.
