===How to bottle and can foods===
Bottling and canning food involves cooking [[fruits]] or [[vegetables]], sealing them in sterile cans or jars, and [[boiling]] the containers to kill or weaken any remaining bacteria as a form of [[pasteurization]]. Various foods have varying degrees of natural protection against spoilage and may require that the final step occur in a pressure cooker. High-acid fruits like [[strawberries]] require no preservatives to can and only a short boiling cycle, whereas marginal fruits such as [[tomatoes]] require longer [[boiling]] and addition of other acidic elements. Many [[vegetables]] require pressure canning. Food preserved by canning or bottling is at immediate risk of spoilage once the can or bottle has been opened.
