This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

confirmation that a named, unmodified tested recipe was followed + headspace and processing-time record + altitude adjustment + lid-seal verification per jar + labeled quantities + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–150 minutes. Method of record: USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning + National Center for Home Food Preservation methods; ServSafe food-handling basics. DIY-safe high-acid water-bath canning, drying, and fermentation; community meal prep in a permitted kitchen.

Bring

• camera
• food thermometer
• water-bath canner + jars, new lids, bands
• large pots, knives, cutting boards
• tested recipe with processing times
• labels + timer
• hair covering, apron, gloves, hand-wash station

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the source produce/ingredients and confirm they are sound (no spoilage) before starting.
2. 2. Wash hands and sanitize surfaces and equipment; put on hair covering and clean apron.
3. 3. Follow a tested recipe: wash, peel/cut, and prepare the food to the recipe's specification.
4. 4. For water-bath canning of high-acid foods, fill jars to the stated headspace, remove air bubbles, wipe rims, and apply lids finger-tight.
5. 5. Process for the full recipe time adjusted for altitude; for drying/fermenting, hold the specified temperature/time or brine ratio.
6. 6. Cool jars undisturbed, then check every lid for a complete seal; refrigerate or discard any unsealed jar.
7. 7. Label each item with contents and date; record quantity prepared and its destination (pantry/community meal).
8. 8. Enter photos, recipe used, processing time/altitude, seal checks, and quantities into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Low-acid food (vegetables, meats) requiring a pressure canner, or no pressure canner available -> STOP water-bath canning it: refrigerate/freeze instead and route to a trained pressure-canning operator (botulism risk).
• A jar fails to seal, or any preserved food shows off-odor, mold, or a bulging lid -> discard it safely; never taste or shelve a suspect product.
• Cooking for the public without the required permit/certified kitchen -> prep only under the venue's food-safety authority; flag rather than serve unpermitted.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Confirmation that a named tested recipe (Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, the National Center for Home Food Preservation, or the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning) was followed without altering ingredient proportions
• Photo of the recipe source alongside the prepared fruit before canning
• Headspace and full altitude-adjusted processing time recorded
• Every jar's lid seal verified after cooling, with any unsealed jar refrigerated or discarded rather than shelved
• Each jar labeled with contents and date, with quantity and destination recorded

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
