Brighten the winter: We’re making preserves!

Ingredients:

  • Sliced SanLucar fruit or vegetables that your winter heart desires
  • Other ingredients as desired
  • Water

Preparation:

  1. Fill preserving jars with lids with hot water. This is very important, so that everything is absolutely clean! Then pour out the water and collect it in a bowl.
  2. Fill the cut up fruit or vegetables into the jars and pour your favourite stock over them until everything is well covered. Now screw on the cover tightly and check that it’s properly closed.
  3. You have two options for making your preserves: you can go with either the pot or the baking tray version. To make preserves in a pot, place a towel double folded on the bottom of the pot (inside). Place the filled preserving jars on it. Then fill the water to 3/4 of the jar height and put the lid on the pot. Heat on the stove until the water really boils. Depending on the type of fruit or vegetables, this can take 30-45 minutes. Do you prefer to use the baking tray version? No problem! Simply pour 2 cm of water onto the tray and place the preserving jars in the water bath. Put it into the oven at 175° C – until small pearly bubble rise in the glass.
  4. Totally easy, right? One or two tips, so that you can enjoy your preserved delicacies for a long time: store the cooled jar in dark, light-protected, dry and cool rooms. Also good to know: food preserved with fatty ingredients such as nuts or cocoa flakes do not last so long. If you use a bit of liqueur, red wine or other alcohol, your preserves will keep even longer – because alcohol helps to conserve very well. But enough talk for now. Have fun trying this out and when winter comes, may it be a sunny one!
