Canning celery #316070

Asked April 25, 2016, 1:34 AM EDT

I don't see any information on canning celery in the OSU ES preservation manual. What's the drill? Thanks

Expert Response

There are no safe canning instructions for home canning celery. This is in part because the final product would be such poor quality, so no testing has been done to determine a safe method or length of time for processing. There are some recipes that include celery as an ingredient, but they are not meant to be used for celery only. 
Celery doesn't freeze well either, but it can be done. 
Sorry this isn't the answer you hoped for.
