Bottling

Vegetables and fruit

Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good condition for bottling.

Glass jars

Use clean glass jars and accessories and check them for any defects. Glass jars with twist off lids or glass lids with a rubber seal are suitable.

Make sure that all the glass jars are the same size so that bottling is carried out evenly.

After you have filled the jars with the bottled produce, clean the glass rims with a clean cloth and hot water and then seal the jars.

Fruit

Sort fruit carefully, rinse it briefly but thoroughly and allow it to drain. Take great care when cleaning soft fruit as it is very delicate and squashes easily.

Remove any peel, stalks, cores or stones.

Cut up large fruit. For example, cut apples into slices. If you are bottling fruit with stones (e.g. plums, apricots) without removing the stones, pierce the fruit several times with a fork or wooden screwer as otherwise it will burst.

Vegetables

Rinse, clean and cut up vegetables.

Green vegetables should be blanched before bottling to help them retain their colour (see "Blanching").

Fill volume

Fill the glass jars with produce up to a maximum of 3 cm below the rim. Do not pack it down as this will damage the cell walls of the fruit. Tap the jar gently on a cloth to help distribute the contents evenly.

Fill the jars with liquid. The produce must be completely covered.

Use a sugar solution for fruit and a salt or vinegar solution for vegetables.
