- Use two-piece self-sealing lids (flat disks and metal screw bands) for sealing all jars of food.
- Metal screw bands may be loosely applied while transporting jars to and from the entry position to prevent damage; however screw bands must be removed from the jars before exhibiting entries.
- All food not in standard jars or not sealed with self-sealing lids will be disqualified by the judge.
- Judging criteria: All canned foods must be ½ inch from the top of the jar. Liquids should be clear, not cloudy. Arrangement in jar should be attractive. Quality of product must be considered, i.e. over ripeness, discoloration, uniformity of size.
- Pickles and relishes judged on size, uniformity, clearness, color, and arrangement.
