Division
Class
The canning method used in preservation may be listed as follows: EXAMPLE – If the Water Bath Method is used list
as A or, if the Pressure Canner Method is used list as B. Vinegar, Oil and Dehydrated Food bottle labels need name,
product, division and class only.
6. Entries without label information will be disqualified.
7. Canning Methods: All preserved food entries must be processed using one of the two canning methods listed below.
A. Water Bath Method: Acidic foods, which include most fruits (excluding figs), may be processed using the Water
Bath Method of processing. This includes soft spreads, jams and jellies. Tomatoes, figs and some fruits are
considered borderline low-acid foods. These foods should be made more acidic by adding lemon juice, citric acid
or vinegar as appropriate for the type of food.
B. Pressure Canner Method: Low acidic foods, which include vegetables, must be processed using the Pressure
Canner Method. Tomatoes, figs and low-acid fruits may also be processed by the Pressure Canner Method.
8. Preserved Food Seals: All jars must be sealed with two piece vacuum seals specifically made for canning jars. Seals
must consist of two pieces (metal screw ring band and metal lid.) Entries will be disqualified if both the band and lid
are not on the jar. Ring band should unscrew easily.
9. Decorative lid coverings are discouraged.
10. Headspace: The following headspace must be utilized: 1/4 inch headspace: Jams, jellies, preserves, conserves,
butters, and curds. ½ inch headspace: Fruits, tomatoes, sauerkraut, pickles, relishes, sauces, juices and
marmalades.
11. Inverting Jars: Inverting of canning jars (turning upside down) after canning is not recommended. Inverting may
cause separation of product and reduce the effectiveness of the seal.
12. Preserved Food Definitions:
13. Chutney: May consist of watermelon, cantaloupe, raisins, currents, orange peel, walnuts, sugar, salt, spices and
white vinegar. Variations of chutney include tomato-apple and tomato-pear chutney and any other fruit combination.
Pepper-Onion Relish: Mainly chopped onions, sweet red and green peppers, with sugar, vinegar and salt added.
Tomato Relish: Chopped green tomatoes and peppers and onion, dry mustard, celery seed, vinegar and salad oil.
Preserves: Whole fruit or uniform pieces of fruit cooked slowly so the pieces retain their shape and do not turn to
pulp.
Jams: A preserve that is cooked until it is pulp.
Butters: Strained.
Marmalades: Fruits that have jellying properties, containing slices, small pieces, or peel of the fruit in the jelly. Jelly
part should be clear.
Conserve: Similar to marmalade, but with nuts and raisins. Mixed fruit is used.

Entries received on Thursday, June 9th from 7 am – 9 am in Expo Hall.
These are Closed Judging contests. Exhibitors are not permitted to observe the judging. No typed recipes are required.
BAKED GOODS & CONFECTION RULES:
1. Homemade: Unless otherwise noted, baked goods entries in the Culinary Arts competitive programs must be
completely homemade. The San Mateo County Fair defines “homemade” food entries as entries completely home
prepared. Entries must be baked in a standard home-type (noncommercial) oven.
Made from Scratch: The San Mateo County Fair defines “made from scratch” recipes as preparing an entry without
the use of commercially prepared cake mixes, bread mixes, frosting mixes, pudding mixes, topping mixes, etc.
Entries must be made with basic ingredients without the use or commercially prepared mixes or products which
either replace basic ingredients or are intended as the end result (e.g. cake mix replacing flour, sugar, flavoring etc.
used to bake a cake or a commercially prepared “crust” used in place of basic ingredients to make a crust.)
When a commercially prepared product such as marshmallow cream, sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, flavored
syrups or gelatin, etc. are used in a recipe and is not intended as the end result, they are considered ingredients
instead of prepared product. For example, when pudding is entered as a pudding or used as a filling it must be
“made from scratch” pudding. A commercially prepared pudding mix however, may be used as an ingredient in a
recipe in which the end result is not pudding or filling.
When preparing an entry using fruit or fruit products (such as whole fruit, jams or jellies, etc.) fresh or frozen is
preferred, however, commercially processed fruits or fruit products may be used unless otherwise stated.
2. Perishables: For food safety reasons all perishables must be kept under refrigeration prior to delivery.
3. Novice Bakers - Men Only Entries prepared by Men that have not placed or won previously at the San Mateo County
Fair.
4. California Proud - Baked goods consiting mainly of California gown, produced or farmed items.

RULES:
1. Competition is open to individuals 9 years or older.
2. No typed recipe required.
3. Entries are judged on Appearance, Flavor and Texture.
4. Quantity: 6 Marshmallows.
Ingredients:
3 packages (1/4-ounce each) unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) vanilla extract
1 cup (8 ounces) cool water, divided
- crushed peppermint candies, peppermint oil, or
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
espresso powder, all optional, confectioners' sugar, to
1 cup (11 ounces) corn syrup
sprinkle on top
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup cool water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Combine
the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and ½ cup cool water in a small, deep saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat,
stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and cook, without stirring, until the syrup reaches 240°F on a
candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
With mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the softened gelatin. Increase the speed to high, and whip
until the mixture is very thick and fluffy, and has cooled to lukewarm, 3 to 10 minutes (depending on the mixer and
attachment you use; a stand mixer using the whisk attachment will work more quickly than a hand mixer equipped with
beaters). The mixture should be cool enough that you can spread it into the pan without burning your fingers, about
95°F.
Add vanilla towards the end of the mixing time. This is also the time to add a few drops of peppermint oil, if desired,
instead of vanilla extract. Or try 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder for a coffee-flavored treat. To use the crushed peppermint
candies, which will tint the marshmallow pink and add flavor, stir the candies into the marshmallow mixture, leaving
some swirls of plain white. Spread the marshmallow mixture into a greased 9" x 13" pan (glass or ceramic is best). Use
your wet hands to smooth and flatten the marshmallows. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over the top, and let sit for
several hours (or overnight) before cutting. Use a greased knife or cookie cutters to make squares or other shapes. Yield:
about 100 1" squares.
