Storing jars of canned goods #927813

Asked April 08, 2026, 11:35 AM EDT

Hi, I pressure canned cases and cases of vegetables and fish, is it safe to store them in an outside storage unit where temps could get below freezing and above freezing in one day? BTW I’m on the Kenai peninsula if you’re familiar with our temps
