Canning Troubles
Hard To Spot
“Trouble shooting” for home can
ners has convinced Lucy A- Case, ex
tension nutrition specialist at Ore
gon State college, that about 50
different things may go wrong and
spoil the food—yet she is just as
strong an advocate of home canning
as ever.
A puzzled and rather discouraged
homemaker recently brought to Miss
Case some cans of peaches from a
batch of 50 half gallon jars that had
spoiled. It turned out that standard
screwtop jars had been sealed with
inflerior aluminum caps. Tiny holes
were found in these caps, evidently
eaten through by the acid in the
fruit. As soon as this occurred air
got in and the food was spoiled.
Standard caps with the name of the
jar manufacturer stamped inside the
top, probably would have prevented
this loss of good food and labor.
Jars of spoiled peas were exam
ined, some of which showed a slight
leakage. The lids were of the self
seal type with screw band, and the
sealing composition was entirely gone
in places, leaving the glass against
the bare tin. In completing the seal
of the jars, the owner had failied to

hold the lid still while the screw band
was turned. As a result the sealing
composition, softened by heat, had
probably been displaced, causing a
poor seal- In another case the com
position lids were apparently of last
year’s manufacture, and all of the
jars had failed to seal.
Other jars of spoiled peas were
brought where undercooking was the
cause of spoilage as they had been
processed with hot water only two
hours. Another homemaker whose
peas had spoiled, had allowed the
peas to stay in a hot kitchen all
night, and half the next day, piled
deep in a metal tub. The peas were
probably soured before canning Two
