The Question: People have been canning for a long time, and it appears that not too many people died from it. Why can’t the old-time recipes be used? If the recipes were passed down from generation to generation or were published by Mason Jars and companies that made canners, why can’t they still be used?

Several factors contribute to older, previously recommended recipes now being considered unsafe. Re-tests of some previously recommended processes using the best scientific methods indicated that the process did not reach the temperature to kill the botulism-causing spores throughout the jars. Some re-tests indicated that the same final temperature was not reached in all jars; thus, the heat process was not reproducible. We now know that following these previously recommended processes is risky; Clemson Extension cannot recommend a process that has been found to be inadequate, or that cannot be reproduced reliably.
