direct sunlight may lose
quality in a few weeks or
months, depending on the
temperature.
A dry storage area is
important because damp
ness may corrode the metal
lids or rot the rubber rings on
home canned food Jars. This
can cause leakage and
subsequent spoilage.
Canned goods which have
been frozen, thawed and
refrozen, are safe to use IF
the seal or container has not
been broken. However, the
quality will be poor and
possibly unacceptable. If
jars must be stored in an
unheated place, protect the
jars by wrapping them in
paper or covering with a
blanket.
If you follow directions for
home canning carefully and
the produce was in good
condition initially, there is
little chance of spoilage in
your home canned foods. But
you must always be on
guard.
Look for leaks in con
tainers. If you detect a leak,
don’t use the contents.
When opening canned
foods check for unnatural
odors. If an "off” odor is
present, discard the con
tents. Do not taste canned
foods before first boiling for
10 minutes or more. Boiling
will de-toxify any botulism
toxin.

Timely Reminders
Freezing Homemade Bread All of these Items can go In
Dough an overnight case for ease In
Nothing can beat the smell finding,
of fresh, homemade bread or
rolls. You can mix up a batch
of dough and then freeze it to
be baked some other day.
Some recipes have been
developed especially for
freezing. But you can also
freeze regular bread recipes.
If you freeze bread dough,
it’s best to use it within two
to four weeks after freezing.
That's because the
homemade doughs have a
short storage life and the
bread baked from them will
be less desirable the longer
the dough is frozen. You can
keep frozen baked bread for
several months without
much loss in quality.
Packing Tips for
Cosmetics
When you’re packing
cosmetics to take on a
vacation, put the items in a
plastic-lined kit or bag. And
if you can take plastic
containers for creams and
lotions you’ll find your bag is
lighter and the items are less
likely to break. If you’re
concerned about some of the
bottles spilling, take solid
perfumes and deodorants.
