When potting jams jellies and chutneys I use a waxed disc then two or three teaspoonfuls of melted candle wax to seal , before adding the lid. Chutneys get insulation tape around the lid as well
What process are you using to make your cordials dpack?
As it's usually berries, I extract the juice in a large bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water, generally with about a pint of water to 3 pounds of berries, half pint if they are very juicy. Then squeezed out and filtered, sugar added (pound to a pint) and dissolved, filtered again and a teaspoon of pectolase added to stop jelly forming in the bottle when it is processed...in cold water, tops a quarter turn opened, raise to 190 F and hold for 20 minutes before taking out, close top, insulation tape on then cool on their sides before adding wax over the cap and tape.
Never had problems with fermentation so far |

we are bugs in many ways, in others we are trying to squat their world
the chemical munchers are rather fun, F2+ to F3+ for lunch is impressive, Sulphur recipes attract a variety of fine diners etc
relaxing in a volcanic mudbath is surprising, as is waking up after a while sleeping quietly, hiding inside bigger things is a very neat trick, hello my mitochondrial borg
not quite microbiology is even more interesting, virus implications are odd
not alive, add life, it acts as though alive
even more part of us than bugs imho
seawater with the audacity to grow legs covers the so called "higher lifeforms", seawater that could not be bothered growing legs covers all the others ![](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |
