Canning parsnip

Filed Under: Seasonal Fall, Vegetables Tagged With: Parsnip

canned parsnip 004

Parsnip can be safely canned at home using a pressure canner.

Some people say they don’t like the taste afterwards; but some parsnip lovers counter that those people probably didn’t like the taste of parsnip before much, either.

Delicious as part of a mash including home-canned carrot and squash.

This procedure comes from Ball and Bernardin.

Reference information

How to pressure can.

When pressure canning, you must adjust the pressure for your altitude.

Recipe notes

  • The reason for washing the parsnip before peeling is to reduce bacterial level so that you don’t drive bacteria into the flesh of the parsnip while peeling.
  • After peeling the parsnip, put two pots of water on: one to blanch the parsnip in, and one to use for bottling water. You may of course boil the canning water in an electric kettle, instead.
