Blanks for the winter are very popular not only in winter, but already at the end of summer they begin to open jars of pickled or pickled cucumbers. So that pickles and boils do not deteriorate, and also do not cause health problems, you must follow the rules for storing such food products. Often a very large amount of vegetables and berries is harvested, which is not enough storage space. Therefore, housewives are wondering about the possibility of storing blanks at room temperature.
Salted or pickled cucumbers are stored at room conditions
Billets from cucumbers and tomatoes are almost the first to start cooking. It is not recommended to store pickles and tomatoes at room temperature. A solution of salt water is a favorable breeding ground for bacteria, later the fermentation process can begin in it. The pickling solution preserves the flavoring properties of vegetables, preventing them from souring due to bacteria, and also does not acquire a cloudy color. Therefore, pickled cucumbers with the addition of acetic acid are stored not only in the basement or refrigerator, but also in an apartment or house. It is worth noting that it is better to add a 70% solution due to the higher concentration of vinegar, which prevents bacteria from spoiling the product. Correct sterilization and preservation of blanks for both cucumbers and tomatoes is mandatory for subsequent room storage.
Properly prepared jam is a guarantee of the safety of the product in any conditions
For better preservation of berries, freezing is suitable. So you can not lose almost all the valuable vitamins in the composition. You can freeze without added sugar, and for best convenience in small, specialized freezer bags. But there is not much space in the fridge or freezer. And sometimes it is better to replace jam from the store with natural berries. Jam, properly prepared, with the required amount of sugar and sterilized, can be stored at room temperature. Lingonberries are best placed in a cool, dark place, sprinkled with sugar or left in their own juice. If the lingonberry berries are not ripe enough, then it is better to make jam. Otherwise, the berries may deteriorate.
If the jam is made in haste, when sugar is added to just boiled berries and immediately removed from the stove, then such a product is stored in the refrigerator.
Fruit and berry compotes with seeds cannot be stored for more than nine months due to the formation of hydrocyanic acid, which is fatal to humans.
Correct room storage temperature
The room temperature is different in every home. Therefore, canned food that has undergone high-quality sterilization is better stored in a dark and dark place. The temperature here should be slightly lower than in the rest of the room, up to about fifteen degrees. The covers should be checked periodically for swelling and rust, which in turn indicates dampness and high humidity in the room. Very low temperatures, below zero degrees, can completely spoil some canned food. The taste also changes not for the better, especially in vegetables.
So that agricultural labor is not in vain, you need to be careful and attentive to storing blanks. Observing simple storage instructions, you can prevent the destruction of taste and complete spoilage of many pickles and jams loved by many.
