Dry Heat Processing
From Self-sufficiency
For:
- Grains and grain products
- Dehydrated foods
- Nuts, cocoa, etc.
Fill clean, dry canning jars with food. Place open jars in a 200o oven. Leave the oven door ajar to allow moisture to escape. Leave quarts 20 minutes; pints 10 minutes. Remove hot jars from the oven. Put clean canning lids and rings on the jars while they are still hot. Allow to cool. The lid will seal, but a vacuum may not form in the jars so the lid may push in when it is pressed. As long as the lids seal, the jars will be airtight.
