Preserve in the jar

Jaring is a technique that allows to preserve food that has already been cooked, for example jam,  marmelade, vegetables... 
Jaring food helps preserve bacteria from forming.



All you have to do is pour the mixture in jars that have been sterilised beforehand (you can learn how to sterilise by clicking on the following link: Sterilizziazione vasi per conserve). Fill the jars leaving about 1cm of space from the rim.
Be sure to clean the edge of the jar with a lightly wet cloth and immeditely close it.



Turn the jar upside down and let it cool down. It is better to place the jar away from strong breezes so that it isn't subjected to violent temperaature changes.
Turning the jar upside down allows the hot mixture to sterilise the lid and to be stored under vacuum-

Sterilising jars

Sterilising jars is very easy...

Firstly, clean the jars and their lids (washing them in the dishwasher will do) and place them in a pot with a cloth inside it. The clothhelps to prevent the glass from chipping while the water is boiling.

Fill the pot with water until the jars are compeletly overed. Bring to a boil and cover the pot, the wit for 20 minutes.


After the wait, with a pair of tongs take the jars and lids out f the pot and place them upside down on a clean cloth. Let jars and lids dry completely.
