Q:  Has anyone ever canned something up and then is afraid to eat it?...lol. My daughter and I canned up apple pie filling 2 years ago and neither of us is willing to open the jar and try it! It looks funny. But then it might look fine we just dont know what "fine" is.A: Fruit very seldom goes bad unless your seal is bad. If it still has a good seal and it smells good, then it should be ok. I store all of my jars with the rings removed so that if the seal comes undone, you will know it. If you leave the ring on and the jar comes unsealed, it is possible that it will seal back and you would not know it had ever been unsealed.
