UMaine Extension educator Kathy Savoie recommends getting up-to-date information on the best methods, canners, jars and seals to use to ensure a safe result before preserving food. With the season\u2019s first frost rapidly approaching, it is important for home canners to know that the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning (2015 ed.) recommends that canners select only disease-free and frost-free, preferably vine-ripened, produce for canning. Recommendations are available from local UMaine Extension\u00a0county offices<\/a>\u00a0and online at\u00a0UMaine Extension: Food & Health<\/a>, including\u00a0upcoming food preservation workshops and\u00a0how-to videos<\/a>.
