Salt and sugar

The amounts of salt and sugar used in canning and freezing do not have a preservative effect. They are used primarily for flavor and may be omitted. However, fruits canned without sugar will be softer in texture than those canned with sugar.

Honey and com syrup can replace sugar in canning and freezing. Remember that honey has a distinctive flavor which will persist in the finished product. It is recommended that artificial sweeteners be added at the time the fruit is used rather than when preserved.

Freezing

Freezing is probably the most popular method of food preservation. Its popularity is due to two factors — the ease with which foods can be prepared for freezing, and the fresh flavor of frozen foods. Another plus factor is the convenience of having frozen foods available. One factor on the negative side is the energy cost of freezing.
