Is Sealed the Same as Preserved?

If you find yourself wavering on a recipe’s safety or questioning if that home-canned gift from the neighbor is safe to eat, this is the episode for you!  On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we discuss if sealed is the same as preserved. This episode will teach you what to look for in a safe canning recipe and how to make sure items you’re gifted or purchase are fit to consume. We cover what constitutes a safely-preserved and ready to enjoy food product. You’ll learn why this goes beyond a visible seal, making the inversion canning and open kettle canning inadvisable. We also share about the proper canning methods for various foods, the importance of headspace, recommended shelf life, and more!We hope this episode helps you feel confident about identifying safely preserved recipes and goods so you can enjoy them to their fullest!Thanks for listening!
