Preserving:

When fruit is in season, it’s cheap, plentiful and at its very best. So it makes good sense to preserve your favourites with our Fowlers range  – then you can savour the pleasure of seasonal produce all year round.

Benefits of Preserving:

• Quick (Takes as little as 60 minutes)
• Simple (Slice fruit, place in jar and add preserving liquid)
• Economical (Saves money at the grocer/market)
• Natural (Use only pure ingredients)

What can be preserved?:
You can preserve most fruits including apples, apricots, berries, tomatoes, cherries, citrus fruits, grapes, mangos, passionfruit, peaches, pears, pineapple, plums, quinces or a combination. Vegetables such as onions, capsicum, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, squash and chilli can be pickled alone or combined to make a great antipasto.

Instructions & Methodology:

The boiling water bath method (also known as ‘water bathing’ or ‘hot water bathing’) is where you fill clean jars with high acid contents (such as tomato relish, pickled zucchini, strawberry jam), seal with a preserving lid, and submerge under hot water, then bring to temperature for a required amount of time. This time depends on the contents inside the jars, and the size of the jars.

The ‘high acid’ contents means an environment in which many microorganisms which spoil food or make it unsafe, are unable to survive. Heat destroys any food spoiling/ foodborne illness microbes which may be present. The processing also forces oxygen from the jars, creating a vacuum (anaerobic) environment, which inhibits survival or growth. Then as the jars cool after being removed from the water, a vacuum seal is created, which prevents recontamination and air entry.

• many fruits (to use in desserts, sauces and baking)
• jams, conserves and fruit preserves
• relish, chutneys, salsas
• passata, pasta sauce or whole tomatoes
• other sauces (to use as condiments, or as meal-bases or flavour enhancers in casseroles, stews, risotto, pizza sauce etc)
• pickled vegetables (bread and butter pickles, dill cucumber pickles, pickled jalapenos etc)
