Preserving Freshness: The Basics of Food Preservation
24.07.2023 - 11:49 / hgic.clemson.edu
Food preservation is an age-old practice that has allowed us to enjoy fresh food throughout the year. From refrigeration to freezing or pickling to drying, there are countless ways to keep your food from spoiling. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook, an experienced gardener, or a beginner, understanding the basics of food preservation is essential for reducing waste and saving money.
Food preservation involves slowing down or stopping the natural processes that cause food to spoil, such as oxidation, bacterial growth, and enzymatic activity. There are several methods of food preservation, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to choose the right one for your specific needs.
Described below are some of the most popular and effective methods of food preservation, along with tips for getting started.
Canning: Canning is a popular method of preserving food that involves heating food in jars to high temperatures to kill any bacteria and then sealing the jars to create a vacuum that prevents re-contamination. Canning is great for preserving fruits, vegetables, sauces, and soups.
Freezing: Freezing is an easy and effective way to preserve food for several months. To freeze food, place it in a freezer-safe container and store it at 0 °F or lower. Frozen food can be thawed and used later, but it’s essential to handle it properly to avoid spoilage.
Dehydrating: Dehydrating involves removing the moisture from food to slow down spoilage. This can be done using a dehydrator, an oven, or even the sun. Dehydrating is a great way to preserve fruits, vegetables, and meats, and it’s also a great way to make snacks like dried fruit and jerky.
Pickling: Pickling is a method of preserving food by soaking it in vinegar

Tomato Varieties: Sarah Raven picks some of the best
A cherry plum, sweet, thin-skinned and very prolific (you’ll also find it sold under ‘Red Grape Sugar Plum’). It was in the top three of our recent taste test and everyone liked it for its strong tomato flavour that’s sweet but not overly so, and its firm not mushy texture. It has a slight acidity running through it which all sweet tomatoes need. It ripens quite late compared to ‘Sungold’ and produces for a long period of time. It’s lovely in a mixed salad with the larger varieties.
