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. This

like the taste. If you are not

to keep it in a glass jar or
