Canning takes most seasonal work for all housewives. But traditionally, canning cannot be considered a healthy way to preserve food. Can canning be healthy and beneficial?

Canning and healthy eating can be successfully combined. Sugar adds flavor and can be part of a balanced diet, but it doesn't have to be added to every jar. Canning without added sugar is not only possible, but also simple and delicious.
Sugar is a preservative, but it is not necessary to add it when canning. The preservation process does not depend on sugar, so it is quite possible not to add it.

Fruit jams without sugar

Everyone who makes preparations knows that sugar is a thickener in jellies and jams. This scientific fact. However, you can turn fruits or fruit juices into thick, delicious fruit jams with the help of pectin. When using this pectin, follow the instructions for preserving time, as lack of sugar may affect the cooking time of jams and jams.
In addition to everything, you can prepare fruit “butter”. Fruit "butter" is made from fruits pureed and cooked very slowly until thickened. This is a great way to preserve the flavor of the fruit and the shine of the natural sugar. To be safe, cook the fruit “butter” not for 10 minutes, as many recipes containing sugar suggest, but for the time recommended for the specific type of fruit.

Preserve fruits in juice

Don't add sugar syrup in jars with cherries, peach quarters or sliced ​​pears. Instead, add fruit juice to the jar. Sugar-free apple juice is suitable for many fruits and is often a very economical solution. It is not necessary to match the juice to a specific type of fruit, although you can. Observe usual time canning for certain types fruit.

Canning fruits in water

Jars of fruit can be filled with plain water instead of sugar syrup or fruit juice. Sometimes this method makes the fruit softer, but it can still be done. Follow the normal canning times for certain types of fruit.

Don't use sugar in savory recipes

Sometimes a drop of honey can soften tart tomatoes, although this is not necessary. You shouldn't add sugar to soup or stew unless that's your personal preference. Even if a tried and tested recipe contains sugar, you can omit the sugar and still respect the time and pressure when canning.

Unsweetened fruit sauces

Again, sugar itself does not preserve, preservation occurs due to rolling, therefore in fruit sauces homemade You can skip adding sugar, for example, to apple sauce. Sugar-free applesauce is a healthy snack that can be added to baked goods as a butter substitute.
The canning season is gaining momentum, don’t forget to replenish your pantry with preparations that you will be happy to eat in the winter, and which will be not only tasty, but also healthy.

There are thousands of delicacies, but health is one

D For normal functioning, the human body needs food containing more than 600 substances, 96% of which have therapeutic effect. Most of them are found in berries, fruits and vegetables, and some are found only in them. Moreover, biologically active ingredients gardening products are not contained in other food groups, so their absence in a person’s diet can sooner or later affect his health. That is why it is very important to save the maximum of useful components contained in vegetables and fruits for our table.

TO Every zealous housewife knows how to preserve until next spring everything that nature gives her this summer. Experienced housewives know hundreds of recipes for jams, pickles, and pickles. Canned food prepared according to these recipes will help preserve the taste of your favorite fruits for the winter and will make your family’s diet more varied and tasty. Is another book on canning necessary then?

D ah, needed. It's time to think: are canned food prepared according to the recipe really good and healthy? traditional recipes? Are the most popular preservatives - sugar and salt - so harmless?

IN At the end of the 20th century, nutritionists became convinced that excessive human consumption of sweet and salty foods causes diseases in the body. They strongly recommend limiting your intake of these food components. After all, all fruits, berries and vegetables are primarily a source of structured water, purified by nature itself and close in structure to water human body. So why poison it with sugar and salt? Agree, none of you will just drink sweet or salty water!

WITH Modern nutritional science also advises all older people, especially those who are overweight, to significantly reduce their total daily caloric intake. And all canned food with sugar, as you know, is very high in calories. Eating sweet and salty foods provokes a significant increase in fluid consumption due to thirst, which, as is known, contributes to the accumulation of fat in the body.

L It's easy to say: limit it! What about pickled cucumbers, sauerkraut and your favorite cherry jam? And other sweets and spices that we have become accustomed to since childhood?

ABOUT tons of sugar and salt in canned food should be abandoned for the sake of your own health and the health of your loved ones! In addition, it is also economically beneficial, since sugar and salt are becoming more and more expensive, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to prepare canned foods with a high content of them.

TO How to preserve without sugar and salt?

N Several centuries ago, sugar and salt were not widespread on the planet and were not used by people to preserve food. Our ancestors preserved their reserves using other natural preservatives.

F Canned fruit and vegetables are preserved not because they contain sugar or salt, but because they have been subjected to sterilization, as a result of which microorganisms that cause spoilage of the product are destroyed. In this case, the tightness of the closure is very important, eliminating the risk of microbes from the surrounding atmosphere entering the jars.

L Any fruits and berries can be preserved in the form of compote, without adding sugar syrup to them, but only by pouring boiling water or juice of the same (and possibly other) fruits and berries. You can also preserve fruit and berry purees and natural juices without sugar.

P The canned food obtained in this way will be equally useful for diabetics, since they contain only the sugar that was in natural fresh fruits, and for older people, since their total caloric intake is sharply reduced. Before eating, such canned food can be sweetened to taste (with honey, saccharin, etc.) or used as prepared.

The simplest is canning whole fruits, berries and vegetables without sugar.

B You can also preserve natural pureed fruits and vegetables without sugar. By chemical composition they are not much inferior to fresh ones, but they are completely suitable for use, since they are cleared of inedible parts - seeds, seed nests, skin. Such canned food is prepared from both fresh and boiled fruits and vegetables, rubbing them through a sieve or a special device.

AND From all types of cultivated and wild fruits, berries and vegetables, natural juices can be prepared in various ways:

  • using a juicer (for example, from apples, carrots, etc.)
  • by pressing crushed pulp (say, from berries)
  • using a juicer (in particular, from berries, stone fruits, chopped tomatoes)
  • by obtaining an aqueous extract from hard fruits (rose hips, hawthorn, etc.) - the peeled fruits are poured with boiling water, boiled, and then the juice is filtered.

P Sugar-free compotes can be prepared from almost all types of fruits. As already mentioned, you can use natural juices or water as a filling for them.

N Does not require sugar and salt when drying and freezing.

Canning without sugar - time to go to jars

Today we’ll look at the simplest and most ancient way of preparing vegetables and fruits at home – sugar-free canning.

Homemade canned food is often prepared with the addition of large amounts of sugar (compotes, preserves, jams). However, the use of such canned food in large quantities often cannot be recommended both from a nutritional point of view and for economic reasons. Sugar is becoming more and more expensive, so it is becoming more and more difficult to prepare canned foods with a high content of it. In this regard, the production of canned goods at home is being reduced. However, you can choose canning methods in which it is not necessary to add sugar or add it in small quantities. Before eating, these canned foods can be sweetened to taste with sugar or honey, or used as they are prepared.

The most in a simple way is the canning without sugar of whole fruits, berries and vegetables. They are prepared for pasteurization in two ways: 1. Selected, peeled and thoroughly washed fruits and berries are placed tightly in glass jars, pasteurized and sealed.

2. Heat the prepared fruits and some vegetables in a saucepan over low heat until they release juice. Then, while hot, they are transferred to jars, pasteurized and sealed.

Puréed fruits and vegetables can also be preserved without sugar. In terms of chemical composition, they are not much inferior to fresh ones, but they are completely suitable for use, since they are cleared of inedible parts - seeds, seed nests, and skin. Such canned food is prepared from both fresh and boiled fruits and vegetables, rubbing them through a sieve or a special device.

Natural juices can be prepared from all types of wild and cultivated fruits and vegetables in various ways:

  • Using a juicer (for example, apples, carrots, etc.)
  • By pressing crushed pulp (for example, from berries).
  • Using a juicer (for example, from berries, stone fruits, cut tomatoes).
  • By obtaining an aqueous extract from hard fruits (rose hips, hawthorn, etc.). The peeled fruits are poured with boiling water, boiled, and then the juice is filtered.

Compotes are prepared from almost all types of fruits. As a filling, you can use natural juices, water with a small amount of sugar or no sugar at all.

When making jam, preserves, preserves with a reduced amount of sugar, the finished canned food is pasteurized.

Pickled, salted and pickled fruits and vegetables are also prepared without sugar or with a small amount of it.

No sugar required for drying and freezing.

Pickling is based on the use of a widely used preservative - acetic acid. Most pathogenic microorganisms die in a 2% acetic acid solution:

Marinades can be slightly acidic, moderately sour, sour and spicy (savory). Weakly acidic marinades usually contain 0.2-0.6% acid, moderately acidic - 0.6-0.9%, and acidic - 1-2% or more. Spicy (savory) marinades are most typical for the cuisine of Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgian and Moldavian cuisine. However, it should be borne in mind that acetic acid in large quantities has a negative effect on the body, so at home it is better to prepare weakly acidic marinades using wine or fruit vinegar, which can also be prepared at home.

For pickling, fruits and vegetables of the best quality, fresh and healthy, are selected. Thoroughly wash, sort, remove the stalks. Sometimes they are pre-blanched. One container must contain fruits or vegetables of the same degree of maturity.

The prepared fruits are placed in jars. Herbs and spices are usually placed at the bottom of the jar, but are sometimes used to make the filling.

Marinade filling usually consists of sugar, salt and vinegar dissolved in water. For each type of marinade, the quantities of these ingredients are given in the corresponding recipes. Salt and sugar are dissolved in water when heated. The solution is boiled for 15 minutes, after which vinegar is added to it. Sometimes vinegar is added directly to the jars. In this case, you need to keep in mind that a jar filled with fruits or vegetables contains approximately 35-40% of the filling. This means that in a liter jar you need to add 2.5-3 times less vinegar than indicated in the corresponding recipes per 1 liter of filling.

After placing the fruits or vegetables in jars, marinade is poured over them. Weakly acidic canned food is filled with marinade, without adding 2 cm to the edges of the neck, and sour and spicy ones - flush with the edges. Weakly acidic marinades are pasteurized and sealed.

Pasteurized marinades are immediately cooled with water so that the fruits and vegetables do not soften too much.

When sealing, only varnished lids are used, since acetic acid is very active towards iron.

The optimal temperature for storing pasteurized marinades is 0-20 °C. They are stored in a dry and dark place. Spicy marinades are stored in a cool place. During storage, the so-called maturation of marinades occurs. Marinades from blanched raw materials ripen in 20-30 days, from unblanched ones - in 40-50 days.

Pickling, salting and soaking are methods of preserving vegetables and fruits using lactic acid formed during the fermentation of sugars. There is no fundamental difference between these three methods, the only difference is in the form of canned raw materials. If watermelons, cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables are preserved in this way, it is called pickling, if fruits (apples, pears, plums) are called pickling. Cabbage is fermented.

All these processes involve lactic acid bacteria, which are widespread in nature. Under the influence of these bacteria, sugar, which is found in all fruits and vegetables, is converted into lactic acid. As it accumulates, lactic acid stops the development of other microorganisms and has a preservative effect on fruits and vegetables. The action of lactic acid bacteria stops when 1-2% lactic acid accumulates in the product.

During the fermentation process, in addition to lactic acid, another 0.5-0.7% is formed ethyl alcohol, a small amount of acetic acid, carbon dioxide etc. These substances do not interfere with the process of lactic acid fermentation, but they significantly improve the taste of the finished product.

When pickling and fermenting vegetables, salt is also used, which affects not only the taste of the product. Salt causes plasmolysis plant cells, which releases sugar-rich cell sap. Salt It is usually added in an amount of 2-3% either directly to chopped vegetables (cabbage), or in the form of 4-8% brine when salting whole vegetables. At this concentration, salt inhibits the development of many microorganisms, almost without affecting the process of lactic acid fermentation. A higher salt concentration inhibits the activity of lactic acid bacteria and worsens the taste of the finished product.

Aromatic additives such as dill, cumin, horseradish, mustard, garlic, savory, tarragon, etc. give products a pleasant smell and improve their taste. Some of these supplements contain essential oils or phytoncides. Both suppress the development of molds and yeasts. When pickling cucumbers and tomatoes, oak, black currant, and cherry leaves are added - they contain tannins, thanks to which the good consistency of vegetables or, for example, the crunchy properties of cucumbers is maintained. Many additives enrich the finished product with vitamins. For example, adding carrots to cabbage enriches it with carotene.

To receive the finished product good quality and stable in storage, several conditions must be met.

Firstly, fermented and pickled vegetables must contain a sufficient amount of sugars. If vegetables contain few sugars, then an insufficient amount of lactic acid is formed during the fermentation process and, accordingly, the finished product will not be shelf stable. Therefore, vegetables need to be fermented when they contain greatest number Sakharov. Some fans add a small amount of sugar to vegetables (for example, 0.5-1% by weight of raw materials in cucumbers).

The second condition is the removal of oxygen from the mass of raw materials, since without oxygen many unwanted microorganisms cannot develop. In addition, the absence of oxygen favors the preservation of vitamin C. When sauerkraut is sauerkraut, the removal of oxygen from the cabbage mass is achieved by careful compaction. The cell sap released during this process displaces air from the free space between the particles of the raw material. Whole fruits and vegetables are completely filled with brine, which also protects vitamin C from destruction. During the fermentation process and during storage, make sure that the products are covered with brine on top, and, if necessary, add a freshly prepared 3-4% saline solution.

Proper fermentation process is also facilitated by appropriate temperature. The favorable temperature for the fermentation process is from 15 to 22 °C. With more high temperature undesirable microorganisms develop, such as butyric acid bacteria, which impart bad taste. To speed up the fermentation process, dishes with prepared and seasoned fruits and vegetables are usually kept at room temperature (18-20 °C), and then transferred to a cooler place (8-12 °C) until the end of the fermentation process. Finished products must be stored at zero temperature. Under these conditions, microbiological processes almost completely stop.

Without proper sanitary conditions, it is impossible to obtain good quality products. Vegetables and fruits should be fresh, healthy, and well washed. Containers, equipment and supplies are also thoroughly washed and disinfected. Serious attention is not always paid to this, but quality deterioration and even damage finished products are often the result of negligence during preparatory operations.

Some vegetables are preserved by strong salting. With this method, the preservative is salt. The tissues of the product are saturated with a strong salt solution, which inhibits or delays the development of microorganisms. Salted vegetables are consumed in the same cases as fresh ones, but before consumption, such vegetables are soaked to remove excess salt. Culinary dishes to which salted vegetables are added are not pre-salted.

This canning method is simple. Dry salting is most often used. Prepared vegetables are thoroughly washed, cut or chopped and mixed with dry salt in a ratio of 2 parts salt to 8 parts vegetables. The mixture is placed in the prepared container and compacted until the vegetable mass is covered with juice. First, the container with pickled vegetables is kept for 2-3 days at room temperature, and when the mass settles, the container is supplemented with salted mass from a spare jar and sealed.

To prevent intrusion atmospheric air in a salted product, its surface is often poured with a thin layer vegetable oil. If little juice has been released, cover the surface of the salted product. parchment paper, and sprinkle salt on top.
