How is fruit canned?

Fruit canning involves several key steps: first, the fruit is washed, peeled, and cut as needed. It is then blanched to deactivate enzymes that can lead to spoilage. Afterward, the fruit is packed into sterilized jars or cans, often with added sugar syrup or juice, and sealed tightly. Finally, the sealed containers are processed in a boiling water bath or pressure canner to ensure they are safe for long-term storage.
