Kiszerelik

Kiszerelik is a Hungarian word that translates to "to can" or "to jar" in English. It refers to the process of preserving food by sealing it in airtight containers, typically made of metal or glass, to prevent spoilage and extend its shelf life. This method is commonly used for canning fruits, vegetables, meats, and other perishable items. The process involves heating the food to a specific temperature, usually above 100 degrees Celsius, to kill bacteria and then quickly cooling it to preserve its nutrients and flavor. Once sealed, the containers are stored in a cool, dark place to maintain their quality. Kiszerelik is a traditional food preservation technique in Hungary and other countries, allowing for the enjoyment of fresh, homegrown produce throughout the year.
