Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Drying food is another time-tested means of preservation. Drying fruits concentrates their sugar content so that spoilage is much less likely to occur. Dried fruit keeps for a long time, but it is possible that the vitamins that are present in the fresh fruit will disappear if stored for an extended time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot Pack Method Heat fruit in syrup, water, extracted juice or steam before placing it in jars. Pack loosely and cover with desired hot liquid. Check the table at the end of this fact sheet for the correct amount of headspace to leave between the top of the fruit and the jar lid.
