This is Susie Craig. It’s time to get ready for the holidays.
Did you know that more than 800 million pounds of cranberries are harvested each year in the United States? Cranberries are one of three fruits native to North America. Salsa, chutney, and conserves with cranberries are easy to prepare safely using tested recipes from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. They make great gifts for friends and family any time of the year.
Find safe, tested recipes and directions for Spicy Cranberry Salsa, Cranberry Orange Chutney, and more online at the National Center for Home Food Preservation. You’ll need a boiling water canner, half-pint jars and two-piece metal canning lids. Remember to label and date your jars before gifting. They can be stored up to a year.

FSM 359: Preserving Flavored Vinegars at Home: Storage and Time for Flavor Development
Transcript
[music]
I’m Susie Craig from Washington State University Extension.
What comes next after capping or corking your flavored vinegar? Store bottles in a cool, dark place, preferably under refrigeration. Keeping them refrigerated preserves flavor and extends shelf life up to 3 months if tightly sealed.
Flavor development takes time—at least 10 days, but for maximum taste allow 3–4 weeks. The National Center for Home Food Preservation recommends testing flavor by placing a few drops on plain white bread and tasting. If flavors seem too strong, dilute with more of the vinegar used in the recipe.
Fruit vinegars may darken and change flavor after 3 months. If you notice bubbling, cloudiness, or sliminess, this may indicate mold or yeast. Discard your flavored vinegar immediately.
Thanks for listening to Food Safety in a Minute.
