      Title: CANNED FOODS FOR SPECIAL DIETS
 Categories: Canning, Information
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
 
  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.
