SECTION C

Director in Charge: Linda Armstrong 289-829-0343 Assistant: Megan Webster, Kelly Mills

Canning Section Rules

Please see Exhibitors’ Regulations

All entries must be brought to the Town Park Recreation Centre between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 12th or between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Friday, September 13, 2024.
Entries must be picked up Sunday between 4:30 and 5:30 pm.
For all classes, use snap lids only and product must be covered with liquid. Jars that are not fully sealed or have product exposed above the liquid will be eliminated.
Freezer jams are a no-cook jam and may use any kind of lid. They must be refridgerated or frozen until entry to the Fair.
No artificial colouring is to be used in any form.
Unless otherwise specified, any size canning jar may be used, for example, 125 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml.
Use fresh local produce as much as possible.
Points awarded as follows: 1st 3 points; 2nd 2 points; 3rd 1 point.

Tips for Canning and Preserves

Wash jars thoroughly. Select proper size for the category.
Follow cooking instructions carefully.
Follow sealing instructions for snap lids. Overfilling and under filling can cause seal failure.
The recommended headspace for jams and jellies is 1/4 inch, and 1/2 inch for tomatoes, vegetables, fruits and pickles. The product must be fully submerged.
Slide a rubber spatula between the jar and food to remove air bubbles. Re-adjust “headspace”.
Wipe jar rim, removing any food particles or stickiness.
Centre snap lid on jar and apply screw bands. Use timing in recipe. Then turn off heat and let jars sit for 5 minutes to avoid until jar contents have stopped bubbling. As the jars cool, the lids snap down creating an air-tight, vacuum seal Sealed lids curve downward in centre. Do not retighten screw bands. Store in a cool, dry place.

OAAS Judging Standards Book is available to exhibitors upon request.
