Preserving
Firstly, often jams and preserves can be confused and if you’re new to preserving, it’s good to note that there is a distinct difference between the two. For instance, jam is usually prepped by slicing, dicing or mashing fruit together; while in a preserve you’re likely to see whole fruit, or certainly larger pieces of fruit cooked in thick sugar syrup. Today, to keep it simple, we’ll shine the spotlight on preserves.
First and foremost, when you’re prepping to preserve or make jams, remember that sterilising your jars is critical. One tiny spot of bacteria can spoil your jar; not to mention the dangers associated with food poisoning. For instance, those of you with a steam steriliser (for baby bottles) can use these. However, your jars will still need to be dried out before use. Alternatively, jars can be sterilised in the dishwasher, or water bath.
Our Top 5 Preserving Tips:
- Ensure your sterilized jar is completely stable before pouring in your preserve mixture.
- Don’t add hot preserve to a cold jar; or cold preserve to a hot jar – as the jar may break.
- Glass jars are most preferred for the purpose of preserving since they can be reused
- Quality counts! Using the freshest produce yields the freshest-tasting results
- Always follow a recipe from a trusted source!
