In this week's Parade magazine included in the Sunday paper, I found some of the lamest, idiotic canning instructions I've seen in a while. Here's the excerpt:
How To Can Fruit for Winter
To store long-term, fill sterilized canning jars with set jam, leaving 1/2 an inch of headroom. Clean rims and seal with a lid. Place jars upright on a rack inside a deep pot. There should be at least 3 inches of space above the jars. Cover the jars with 2 inches of hot water. Cover the pot, bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Remove the jars, keeping upright. Let cool to room temperature. Before storing jars, check the lids: They should be flat or concave. Jars that arenÂt properly sealed should be refrigerated, not stored, to prevent contamination.
That's the total of the instructions, that's it, that's all.
Comments, anyone?
