Week 6 – Check the Pantry 🥫
Look through your pantry for expired foods, duplicates, and items your family won't use. Organize what remains so you can easily see what you have.

NEWSFLASH from the National Center for Home Food Preservation:

Check that bottle before you can.

If a tested canning recipe calls for bottled lemon or lime juice, choose juice labeled “from concentrate” or “reconstituted.”

Why? Juice made from concentrate has a standardized acidity level. “Not from concentrate” juice does not have that same guarantee, and acidity matters for safe home canning.

For canning:
• Use bottled lemon or lime juice from concentrate.
• Do not substitute fresh-squeezed juice or “not from concentrate” juice.
• Use the amount called for in your tested recipe.

This applies when lemon or lime juice is used to acidify foods such as tomatoes or salsa, and when called for in tested jam and jelly recipes.
