Sterilization & Canning



To sterilize the glass jars in which you put and store the jams, pickles, compote, spoon sweets or whatever else you want to store and maintain the sterilization rules are tangible and strict to ensure that will not alter the product we want to maintain.

▶ In a large saucepan, let water boil as much as it covers the jars, lids, the ladle, the forceps and the wide mouth canning funnel. Everything that will be used to fill jars. Sterilize all for 30' on high heat along with 100g (3.5oz) vinegar.
To prevent the jars from being struck during boiling, put a small towel cloth, clean and ironed, into the bottom of the pot.
▶ Remove the jars and lids with the forceps and silicone glove in your hands and touch them on a towel with the opening upwards next to the pot with the prepared product to be maintained. Follow the filling process. Fill up to the point where the jar neck begins to narrow and ~1cm (0.4in) below the rim. If syrup has been dropped on the lip, put the tip of a towel in the hot water of the pot and clean it as described above.
▶ Canning is a method of maintaining food in which the food contents are processed and sealed in an airtight container.
To proceed with the canning process, immerse the closed and filled jars in a pot of water to cover them and boil them for 10'-15'. Remove them from the saucepan with a tweezer and place them on a towel in close proximity to each other. Allow them to cool completely.
