Why is canning dairy unsafe?
This practice has not been scientifically validated and we cannot recommend it. Cheese and cheese milk can potentially be contaminated with Clostridium (C.) botulinum, the botulism-causing bacteria. The pH of cheese qualifies it as a low acid (pH 5.1 to 5.9) food and thus is in the canning danger range.
Can you preserve dairy products?
Canning milk is one way to preserve your milk and save energy at the same time. It will keep for a long time on the shelf and will taste like any canned milk available from the grocery store.

Can botulism grow in canned milk?
botulinum spores become vegetative, cells they can grow produce the deadly toxin that causes botulism poisoning. Canning dairy products themselves or adding them to other canned foods (such as when making soup) is not recommended.
What foods are not safe for canning?
Low-acid foods are the most common sources of botulism linked to home canning. These foods have a pH level greater than 4.6. Low-acid foods include most vegetables (including asparagus, green beans, beets, corn, and potatoes), some fruits (including some tomatoes and figs), milk, all meats, fish, and other seafood.
Can you can milk to preserve it?
Can you water bath can milk?
Milk is a low-acid food. From my research, I found that there are communities around the world that can milk (and can meat) in a water bath canner. Some of them are very close to us like the Amish, for example. However, to kill bacteria they must keep a steady temperature for 3 hours or so.
Can bacon be canned?
My latest canning adventures have included everything from canned cheese to canned butter to canned bacon. To can bacon all you need are quart jars, 12-inch-wide masking paper, pressure canner, and bacon. Cut a piece of masking paper 18 inches long and lay your bacon out in a single layer.
Can you can butter?
You can freeze butter or you can home-can it. Canned butter lasts for years if the seals are secure and it’s kept in a cool place. Always pressure can butter instead of water-bathing it. Butter is dairy and non-acidic so the water bath method will not stop botulism.
Can You Make your own soup recipe for canning?
It is not safe to create your own recipe for canning. Butter, milk, cream, cheese and other dairy products are low-acid foods that should never be added to home canned soups before processing. Add butter and milk to soup just before serving. Products high in starch also interfere with heat processing.
