Preserving Vegetables

People used to preserve fruit and vegetables in order to be able to enjoy them throughout the winter. Currently this form of preserving is once again in vogue. Probably because we like to know what we eat, we find it important to know where our food comes from and no longer want artificial additives. But it is also just fun to do and often not all that much work. There are many different ways of preserving: you can pickle vegetables, preserve fruit in alcohol, make chutneys and jams or bottle > when you cook the jars with their contents for a while, immersed in water, you create a vacuum. Therefore always work with preserving jars (you know, the ones with that rubber ring), otherwise the jar will burst. > a jar of preserved vegetables can be kept for one year in a dark cool place - store the jars in the refrigerator.
