Kevan Smith - Preserve

My job is to keep treasured foodstuffs safe but accessible to family members, and customers.

One way to achieve this is to prevent decomposition through freezing and canning them in jars or using air-tight containers.

Another very popular method is to store them, whole, diced or mashed, with sugars and pectin of under-ripe fruit.

These methods are often used and reserved for particular people or groups that love to have foods and jams for many months after the growing season of the food.

Some people even consider it a deity’s protection, sustenance and maintenance of his/her/their creations.
