Preserved Apple and Rhubarb
From our trip to Robe we went to a local market and I bought pumpkin, apple juice and rhubarb - all organic and all delicious! When we got home I had some apples that needed using so I put them with the rhubarb and preserved them for crumbles and strudels in my Fowlers Vacola preserving kit.
First I mad a medium syrup - 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of water and heated on stove till dissolved.
Then I cut the rhubarb into small batons, peeled and cut the apples into small chunks. I soaked these in water with the juice of half a lemon so the apples didn't discolour.
I then placed the drained fruit into the sterilised jars and topped them up with syrup. After putting the lids and clips on I processed them.
Once done I removed from vacola, and they will sit undisturbed on the cupboard for 3 days. Then I'll remove the clips and store them ready to eat!
