In the Blue Ball canning book, the recipe states that you can add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each quart jar, if desired. Here is also what they have to say, "The amount of salt called for in canning meats and vegetables is too small to help prevent spoilage; the salt is there only for seasoning. Folow recipes for cannin low-acid vegetables, meats and poultry, but omit salt. Do not omit salt from seafoods." I choose to not add salt, knowing that I would use these foods in recipes calling for salt and other seasonings.Frieda Loves Breadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265482581165683185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272761941682835961.post-84698958546616036562012-01-11T13:59:37.171-07:002012-01-11T13:59:37.171-07:00Ms. Frieda,
