What's New in Putby
1.2.11
November 9, 2026
• New: Putby in your browser. Open putby.adelyons.com/app on a computer, then Settings → Putby in your browser → Connect a browser, and scan the code: your pantry is on the big screen too, and Putby+ comes along. • The Safety tab now covers 255 more foods: every canning recipe the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) publishes, each with its own altitude table. Search by name. • The jar log suggests tested foods as you type. • Fixed: "beets" now gives the pressure-canning process (plain beets are low-acid) and "berries" the whole-berry time, not jam's. • The 14 core foods on the Safety tab now use each food's own NCHFP altitude table, like the other 255. Some times at altitude are shorter than before (Putby used one shared schedule), and pressure canning now stops at 8,000 ft, where NCHFP's tables end. • Beef and meat chunks: headspace is 1 inch, as NCHFP gives it.
