Preservation and Storage
Because
of Colorado’s high altitude, water and other liquids boil at a
lower temperature which can affect the safety of home canned foods
if processing times and pressures are not adjusted.
This
site links you to 22 Colorado State University Extension
fact sheets on food preservation and food safety written
specifically for “mile high” residents.
Topics
include:
-
directions
for hot water bath processing of, jams, jellies, pickles and
fruits
-
high
altitude adjustments and directions for pressure canning of
meats, fish and vegetables
-
freezing
fruits and vegetables
-
drying
