Notes: see also General preparations

Jars - Use jars which are free from cracks, chips or flaws – the best sizes to use are 450g/1lb although 1kg/2lb jars can be successfully used for pickling fruit/vegetables. Prepare the jars by washing well in warm soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. Dry the jars in a cool oven (140C, 275F, Gas Mark 1). Fill whilst still warm to prevent the jars from cracking when the hot filling is added.

Filling and covering the jars – Fill to within 1cm/ ½ inch of the top. Whilst still hot, cover with a waxed disc (wax side down) , immediately place a cellophane disc over the top then cover with a screw top lid.

Storage – Store in a cool dark place for 2-3 months before consuming.
