Internal Resources & Recipes

UC Master Food Preserver Volunteers use researched-based resources when teaching their food safety and food preservation educational events. This page lists primary sources for the content they use. UC Master Food Preserver Volunteers do not endorse any specific non-University companies or publications. Recipes used to teach canning methods in our events are limited to our internal lists of government and university extension resources. Ball recipes have been grandfathered into our list of researched-based recipes.
