Boiling Water Bath canning (aks BWB) is standard practice for high acid foods such as fruits like peaches, apples, oranges, pickles, fruit juices etc.
Pressure canning is the only safe method recommended by the USDA and is used for veggies, meats, ready to eat meals like stews, chilils etc. and for mixed items and items of uncertain acidity.
Each method is different and each, done correctly is safe and effective.
- It is safe to use the boiling water bath method for fruits, pickles, jams and jellies. Vegetables and meats MUST be canned in a
pressure canner unless they are pickled.
