New Online Presence for USDA Home Canning

The University of Georgia Extension has officially become the face of the USDA's National Center for Home Food Preservation and they have a new updated website. It is a wonderful resource. We go to the site and explore examples of what is found there that will be very helpful for those wanting to have easier access to tested recipes.

45 years ago, in a foreign country, way before the Internet, I needed to learn how to make soap. I wrote to the USDA. They sent all the information I needed, expedited! ...in the diplomatic pouch! My friends thought homemade soap was weird 😂

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Diplomatic Pouch!! Wow! You must have had some real pull. Jim

[@psrosemary]

@@RoseRedHomestead None at all! That's why it was so surprising.

[@floridastitcher1]

Of course Pam learned to artificially inseminate a bee 😊. That’s why we love her. Always an inspiration.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you, Jim

[@Psych911]

What a fantastic resource. Overseas, where there is no USDA equivalent, there are so many well-meaning, but outdated traditions around food preservation - especially in Italy where I am from, we are very susceptible to that. It's great to have a safe, and scientifically-tested way to continue those traditions and preserve what comes out of the garden.

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Thank you, Jim and Pam! Y'all are the bees knees! Just the best!

[@cherises3608]

As always you guys are so wonderful to keep us up-to-date on everything we need to be better and safer cooks.

[@Petra-vs3ov]

Thank you for the update! I have the National Center for Home Food Preservation in my favorites on my computer and although I'm sure I would have been checking it in the coming months I hadn't looked at it since last year. Since I have offered to assist some of the younger ladies at our church in their endeavors to learn to preserve food it is an easily accessible resource to all of them. And by the way, I just need to thank you also for the introduction several months ago to the Nesco electric canner. We are an older couple and I just don't need to preserve in quantities as I used to when we had a house-full! The Nesco is perfect for pressure canning small quantities of chicken and beef in pint jars. I watch each of your videos with enthusiasm. You inspire me to do more with the time God has given me!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you for your comments. It sounds like you have a full schedule. Jim

[@theresak4343]

Pam and Jim on top of info as always, thank you.

[@Diane57429]

Thank you Pam & Jim, for keeping us up to date! I trust your work results and the honesty you present when making your videos. You are both a great asset to mankind. 😊

[@suemerritt1679]

Thank you Jim and Pam for keeping us all up to date on canning information. You are keeping us safe!

[@tonyajackson8827]

This is all good to know! Thank you for sharing.

[@bobbieforseth7027]

I love you Rose and hubby your videos aren't just informative, they save lives by teaching people the right and food safe way to deal with food, I'm in Canada looked up the book on Amazon holy cow it's over $200.00 to buy glad I can print pages off the website Thank you for all your dedication and hard work giving us such great content 🥰

[@RoseRedHomestead]

$200.00, that is crazy. UGA does not ship to Canada. Many of the new UGA tested recipes in the updated website are online and can be downloaded or printed. This includes the USDA recipes. Jim

[@virginiadaneke2362]

I wish i could share with you my early preserving books from UGA. Printed in 1976, they are just 2 pamphlets because at the time they separated canning and freezing. I still use the freezing one for blanching times but the canning one has outdated processing times. That one is still on the bookshelf for old times sake. 😂 When we lived in Athens i got those free from them. UGA extension has always been a tremendous resource. To my way of thinking they are a national treasure. Go Dawgs!

[@BubbleTeaKristin]

Wow!!! This is Very exciting! Thank you for sharing 😊 I actually pulled this up on my laptop and followed along while you were explaining everything. I will save this page!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Fantastic! Jim

[@sandinewton1896]

UGA is my local “go-to” for information. They did the testing for my dial pressure gauge. Got kicked out of an online group, because I questioned oven canning of raw chicken at250(yes) for 4 hours.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Lucky you! Stay safe! Jim

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Best thing, those are dangerous folks.

[@user-lz8yo4oy9p]

OMG

[@MaryWehmeier]

Congratulations! I did too!

[@jackielowe2895]

I left before I got kicked out. Called them out for saying Amish water bath can only. Have Amish relatives and they pressure can.

[@sherrystacyrn589]

Excellent!! I have the So Easy To Preserve book from Georgia, and it is Excellent!

[@barbaraking9033]

Thank you for showing me this site!

[@sarasos6291]

Thank-you, Jim and Pam for sharing the good news!! Very exciting to have easily accessible and reliable info based on science.... You are the only "homesteader" channel I would bank on without having the time to check out many others whose advise often is couched in "old ways" terminology, canning-wise.... Keep up your wonďerful mission....... I am sure you are saving lives and supporting the well-being of many families!!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks! We appreciate your comments. Jim

[@dorenefarr9490]

Oh Pam,
This is so exciting and user friendly!
I lost my Mom as a teenager and you have taught me so much.
I'm sure there are many others who are in my shoes.
Hugs to you 🙂

[@erainasmith2532]

Hi I purchased the So Easy to Preserve canning book in 2023. It's a good thing that everything is integrated now and I'm so glad they made the decision to do it. The book has been on the website for quite some time it just makes more since to combine the two, and I might add that it's a fantastic addition to have in my canning library. Thanks so much for sharing this information. Enjoy!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thanks for the information. Jim

[@baronepam]

Great News! Thanks for telling us about it.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Our pleasure! Jim

[@elizabethcrawley6749]

I've had that book for a few years and given it as a gift to several friends who love to can. It is a wonderful resource!

[@user-ng3rn1jw9s]

What a wonder woman you are, Pam! You're so inspiring. I would love to hear more about your professional journey.

Wow! Thank you for all you do. I have to say Pam that you are just an AMAZING lady. You are a wealth of experience. I never cease to learn from you.

[@reniermeyer1866]

This is fantastic. It looks so much better.

[@lcatt236]

I would love for them to start testing other recipes now that there is so much interest in canning.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That would be great! There have been major funding cuts and now, the state university extension programs are doing the testing. Jim

❤️ Sending so much love and appreciation to both Pam and Jim for all that you share! Thank you.

Thank you two for keeping on top of food preservation! I have learned so much from you and keep on learning. Your video on botulism was the knowledge I needed to finally brave the world of pressure canning( at age 60). Know your enemy! Once I understood how NOT to kill my family I was off and running-
We had to convert a room for all the food I have put up in 2 years.
Again, the community is so much better for having the both of you out here.❤
