Bottling

Vegetables and fruit

Only use unblemished, fresh produce which is in good

condition for bottling.

Glass jars

Use clean 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 jars are the same size so that bottling is

carried out evenly.

After you have filled the jars with the produce, clean the 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 skewer 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 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 produce. Tap the jar gently onto a cloth to help distribute

the contents evenly.
