Episode Transcription

This is Food Safety in a Minute from Washington State University Extension.

Are you canning fruit pie fillings this summer? Explore a new, research-based publication written by Lizann Powers-Hammond. Use her tested recipes for home canned fruit fillings from peach to marionberry. The recipes found in this new publication produce high quality pie fillings and they’re safe.

Using tested recipes ensures food safety. Did you know canned pie fillings thickened with starches other than Clear Jel are not safe? Those ingredients unsafe for canned fruit pie fillings include flour, cornstarch, and tapioca. Remember just because you see a recipe on Pinterest, in a magazine article, or on a website does not mean it is safe for your family.

Find the tested recipes for canned fruit pie fillings at Washington State University Extension Publications.

For Food Safety in a Minute, I’m Susie Craig.
