Extract: Because many people had questions and problems about canning fruits and vegetables, a nationwide survey was conducted to obtain a clear picture of the home canning situation. Data were collected on fruit and vegetable canning procedures and equipment used by households, their sources of instruction, and food spoilage observed. This information was based on practices followed in 1975, when one out of three households canned fruits, vegetables, or both. These products were canned in only 20 percent of the households in large metropolitan areas compared with 50 percent in rural areas. Tomatoes were the most popular item and were canned by three out of four households. Approximately one-fourth of the households reported some spoilage in their home-canned fruits and vegetables. Three out of four canners believed that it was due to lids that failed to seal properly. Although the survey did not determine the actual cause, information given by home canners indicated that some spoilage undoubtedly resulted from improper procedures. (author/wbf).
