Title: Storing Canned Foods
Categories: Canning, Information
Yield: 1 guide

If lids are tightly vacuum sealed on cooled jars, remove screw bands,
wash the lid and jar to remove food residue; then rinse and dry jars.
Label and date the jars and store them in a clean, cool, dark, dry
place. Do not store jars above 95 degrees F or near hot pipes, a range,
a furnace, in an uninsulated attic, or in direct sunlight. Under these
conditions, food will lose quality in a few weeks or months and may
spoil. Dampness may corrode metal lids, break seals, and allow
recontamination and spoilage.

Accidental freezing of canned foods will not cause spoilage unless jars
become unsealed and recontaminated. However freezing and thawing may
soften food. If jars must be stored where they may freeze, wrap them in
newspapers, place them in heavy cartons, and cover with more newspapers
and blankets.
