6.2 Canning / preserving
Canning / preserving (bottling) means
heating up certain foods with a vacuum
seal, so making them keep for much longer.
Canning / preserving makes use of special
jars, either with a screw-top or with a lid and
rubber ring.
Only fresh food that is fully ripe should be
preserved. Overripe fruit or vegetables that
have gone limp are not suitable.
It is also possible to can mushrooms, meat
and even cake.
This should be done straight after harvesting
to preserve as many nutrients as possible in
the food.

The food to be preserved must be cleaned
properly ready for use. Any dirt, insects or
rotten parts need to be removed. Even the
smallest blemishes may cause preserved
food to spoil.
Fruit will keep for longer and be more tastier
when preserved with sugar.
Hard vegetables such as carrots, cabbage
or kohlrabi need to be precooked in salted
water. They should not however be cooked
until they are soft. Pour the water used for
cooking away afterwards as it is not suitable
for use when preserving.
To make sure preserved food keeps for as
long as possible, cleanliness and hygiene
are the top priority. You should preferably
give all utensils, crockery and everything
that comes into contact with your food a
thorough clean, followed by boiling in hot
water for 5 min.
Make sure your hands are clean at all times.
1. Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly.
Note: Fruit and vegetables should be
washed before they are cut up to to
preserve water-soluble vitamins.
2. Cut up fruit and vegetables to the
required size.
3. Fill the preserving jars with food.
Note: Make sure that you layer the
food properly in the jar. That will look
better and make best use of the space
