You may prepare any chunk-style or pureed fruit with
or without sugar, using the procedure for preparing
each fruit. Pack in half-pint, preferably, or pint
jars and refer to the processing times in Table 1.

Caution: Do not attempt to can vegetables, red meats,
or poultry meats, because proper processing times for
pureed foods have not been determined for home use.
Instead, can and store these foods using the standard
processing procedures; puree or blend them at serving
time. Heat the blended foods to boiling, simmer for 10
minutes, cool, and serve. Store unused portions in the
refrigerator and use within 2 days for best quality.
