Jars of Many Colors: What's Normal and What's Not

19 min • 27 mars 2024

Cloudy liquid, darkening at the top? How do you know if the food in your jars is safe to consume? On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we tell you everything you need to know to assess the safety of your canned goods. 

We discuss why your liquid might be cloudy and what it means, darkening at the tops of jars, and potential changes to corn. You’ll also learn how minerals affect foods’ color and how ripeness may change the color of your finished product. Jenny offers a tale of caution about pineapple salsa and the importance of acidifying ingredients. 

The best way to avoid color changes in your jars is to closely follow a tested recipe. We hope this episode helps you to evaluate the safety of your canned products and understand why color changes occur!
