Laboratory Exercise No. 4
Sugar Preservation of Fruits
Introduction:
Objective(s):
At the end of the experiment, the students are expected to:
1. understand the principle behind sugar preservation;
2. understand the role of sugar in fruit jam making;
3. develop the skills in fruit jam making; and
4. appreciate the art of processing sugar preserved products.
Materials:
1 Kilo Apple Sterile glass jars with cap
Water Blender
1/2 Kilo White sugar Knife and Peeler
Lemon juice 1 Tablespoon Measuring spoon weighing scale
wooden ladle carajay
Mixing bowl
Procedure:
1. Prepare and sterilize the jars and cap a day ahead.
2. Wash the fruit with clean water.
3. Collect the pulp and blend them with water using an electric blender or osterizer.
4. Place the blended pulp in a clean container.
5. In a mixing bowl, mix the fruit pulp and sugar.
6. Transfer the pulp mixture to the carajay and cook under slow fire and stir occasionally to avoid
scorching.
7. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until right consistency is attained.
8. Add acidulant (lemon juice) into the mixture when cooking is almost done.
9. Test for doneness using cold water test.
10. After cooking, hot fill the mixture into sterilized jars and then seal the jars. You may process the
