Blanching
Blanch vegetables before freezing
them. Blanching helps maintain the
quality of the produce when it is frozen.
Blanching vegetables also helps them
retain their original colour.
 Put the prepared vegetables into a
perforated cooking container.
 Once blanched, plunge the veget-
ables into ice cold water to cool them
down quickly. Drain them well.

Bottling
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 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 skewer as other-
wise it will burst.
