Liquids used to can fruit

Fruits may be canned in water, juice or a sweet syrup. The sweet syrup doesn't preserve the fruit but helps the fruit maintain its shape, color and flavor. Commercial unsweetened apple juice, pineapple juice or white grape juice make good canning liquids. These may be used directly or diluted with water. Juice can also be extracted from some of the fruit that is being canned or from fresh apples, pineapple or white grapes. To extract the juice crush ripe, unbruised fruit. Heat to simmering over low heat. Strain through cheesecloth or a jelly bag.

Preparing and using syrups

The following guidelines for preparing and using syrups offer a new “very light” syrup, which approximates the natural sugar content of many fruits. The sugar content in each of the five syrups is increased by about 10 percent. The lighter the syrup, the fewer the calories it contains. Quantities of water and sugar make enough syrup for a canner load of pints or quarts. They are included for each syrup type. Many fruits that are typically packed in heavy syrup are excellent and tasteful products when packed in lighter syrups. It's recommended that lighter syrups be tried, since they contain fewer calories from added sugar.

Procedure

Heat water and sugar together. Bring to a boil and pour over raw fruits in jars. For hot packs: Bring water and sugar to boil, add fruit, reheat to boil and fill into jars immediately. See canning quick reference chart for processing times.

Other sweeteners

Light corn syrups or mild-flavored honey may be used to replace up to half the table sugar called for in syrups. Artificial sweeteners should be added just before serving the fruit. Saccharin-based sweeteners can become bitter and aspartame-based sweeteners may lose their sweetening power during processing.

Trapped inside the tissue of fruits are molecules known as enzymes. These enzymes help fruit ripen and turn brown. When fruit is cut or starts to break down, the enzyme is released from the tissue of the fruit and exposed to air which causes the fruit to rapidly change color. This is known as enzymatic browning. Keep cut fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, and peaches from turning brown by: Coating them with an acidic juice such as lemon, orange, or pineapple juice. Use a commercial anti-darkening preparation with fruits, such as Fruit-Fresh®*, and follow the manufacturer's directions. Mix them with acidic fruits like oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and other citrus fruit or pineapple. Prepare the acidic fruit(s) first. Then, cut the other fruits, mixing them in with the acidic fruit(s) as you prepare them. Mix with honey water. Dilute 2 tablespoons of honey with 1 cup of water, mix cut fruit with the diluted honey. Wait until it is as close as possible to serving time to cut fruit. Cover and refrigerate cut fruit until ready to serve. Refrigerate peeled/cut fruits and vegetables so they are at room temperature no longer than 2 hours, TOTAL time.
