Instead of Syrup…

Author: Gary Palmer

canned fruit

Many recipes call for the use of fruit syrups in the canning of fruits.  There is nothing wrong with that, but, believe it or not, you do not necessarily need to use syrup.

As an alternative you might like to add a half cup of sugar to your sterilized jar.  Top that with boiling water — enough to dissolve that sugar.  Then add the fruit.  Should you find there is not enough liquid, all that you will need is a little more boiling water.  Once your satisfied with the amount of fruit and the level of your liquid, proceed with the canning process as per usual.

There are two main benefits to this method of producing fruit preserves.

  1. It’s quick and easy.
  2. You will never worry about having too much or too little syrup.

Like any other canning tip, this is something which you might want to first try on a small scale.  In other words, see how you like it.
