Directions
The cost of commercially canned special diet food often prompts
interest in preparing these products at home. Some low-sugar and
low-salt foods may be easily and safely canned at home. However the
color, flavor and texture of these foods may be different than
expected and be less acceptable.
CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR
In canning regular fruits without sugar, it is very important to
select fully ripe but firm fruits of the best quality. Prepare these
as described for hot-packs for each fruit, but use water or regular
unsweetened fruit juices instead of sugar syrup. (For more
information see additional publications for individual fruits.) Juice
made from the fruit being canned is best. Blends of unsweetened
apple, pineapple, and white grape juice are also good for filling
over solid fruit pieces. Adjust headspaces and lids and use the
processing recommendations given for regular fruits. Add sugar
substitutes, if desired, when serving.
CANNING WITHOUT SALT (REDUCED SODIUM)
To can tomatoes, vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, follow the
normal procedures for canning, but omit the salt. In these products,
salt seasons the food but is not necessary to ensure its safety. Add
salt substitutes, if desired, when serving.

The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Romans made use of many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
