Can Everything Be Canned In A Water Bath?
No, not everything can be canned in a water bath. Low-acid foods such as vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry require pressure canning because they contain harmful bacteria that can thrive in the low-acid environment. High-acid foods such as fruits, pickles, and most tomatoes can be safely canned in a water bath because the acidity level prevents the growth of bacteria. It is important to follow proper canning guidelines and use the appropriate method to ensure safe and successful preservation of food.
