I found this pepper jelly and another jar of jalapeño strawberry jelly in my basement. I canned it in 2012. Is it still safe to eat?
Aged like fine wine.
I would worry about it.
I might worry about it.
I wouldn't worry about it

do you know who canned it? Does it seem to have been opened? Have you opened it yet? Are you still alive?

Op here, I was the canner no the seal hasn't been broken.
I may or may not worry about it depending on varying external factors.

Do you trust your canning? It should be fine.

As long as they lid is still sealed and isn't rusty or obviously bulging, it's fine.

I trust my canning abilities and it looks fine.

Famous last words
Does it smell funky? Does it look off?
No? Then taste a little bit. If it tastes fine, it's fine.
Protip: this applies to everything edible
As long the seal on the lid is good it's perfectly fine.

fucking this
your sense of smell and taste evolved so that you can determine if things are safe to eat or have spoiled due to harmful bacteria/fungus

How long does food normally last if you can them using a pressure cooker? Like could I can some fresh salmon and eat it 5 years from now?

cliff notes
>acidic foods spoil quicker
>general rule of thumb is 1 year till degradation starts
>3-4 years is generally still safe
>things are different for every food/how it was canned/quality of canning
>if it still looks OK, crack it open and smell/taste it, if you don't hurl its still good
