DRY HEAT PROCESSING

FOR: Grains and grain products

Dehydrated foods

Dehydrated foods too moist for storage with oxygen absorbers

Nuts, cocoa, etc.

Fill clean, dry canning jars with food. Place open jars in a 200^o oven. Leave the oven door ajar to allow moisture to escape. Leave quarts 20 minutes; pints 10 minutes. Remove hot jars from the oven. Put clean canning lids and rings on the jars while they are still hot. Allow to cool. The lid will seal, but a vacuum may not form in the jars so the lid may still push in when it is pressed. As long as the lids seal, the jars will be airtight.
