Preserving Fruits

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill clean, dry, wide-mouthed bottles with fresh fruit.

  2. Pack the fruit tightly and ram the corks into the neck of the bottles until level with the glass.

  3. Tie the corks down tightly with strong twine.

  4. Place the bottles in bags and stand them in a pan of cold water, ensuring the water reaches just below the shoulders of the bottles.

  5. Bring the water to a gentle boil and boil for ten minutes.

  6. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
