Can you can/preserve cucumber and onion salad in a hot water bath?

Similar questions: preserve cucumber onion salad hot water bath.

It is necessary to heat the vegetables to a point that will destroy bacteria that causes botulism. I can't see that happening by that method. The idea is to reach 240 degrees without changing the texture of the vegetables too much.

I think if you want to can vegetables and still preserve a modicum of freshness, you should invest in a pressure canner. And even then, I'm not sure of the salad when you open the jar later on.It won't have the crispness of fresh vegetables. And it seems to me, that all the ingredients of your salad are available throughout the whole year.

You can have a fresh salad at any time.

Poppet! Replied to post #1: 2 Oh--this is a canning question! I was picturing trying to keep a fresh salad for serving in hot water!

Didn't seem like a good idea to me! .

Geppetto replied to post #2: 3 I assumed it is a canning question.....can/preserve. I pictured putting jars in a hot water bath...like my mother used to do. But she always cooked the ingredients before.

I always assumed she put the jars in hot water to do the final filling...before capping them...to create a vacuum.

4 It won't really be a "salad" by the time you're done canning it. It'll be more like a pickle relish. You can preserve it with a hot-water bath if you use enough vinegar and salt.It needs to have a high proportion of acid and salt to retard bacterial growth.

Your salad recipe is probably insufficiently acid for that. You can try a recipe like this one:nicenspicy.blogspot.com/2008/08/cucumber... you can get yourself a pressure canner, which is kinda pricey but will last a long time:amazon.com/Presto-23-Quart-Aluminum-Pres... .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
