Quotes by Marisa McClellan (?)

“However, in the fall of 2013, Ball Canning announced that according to its research, it did not find that warming the lids made any discernible difference in the quality of the seal and so were recommending that home canners apply clean, room-temperature lids to their jars.”
― Marisa McClellan, Naturally Sweet Food in Jars: 100 Preserves Made with Coconut, Maple, Honey, and More
