Preserved Fruit

Preserving fruit has a long history, dating back to ancient civilizations when it was essential to ensure a food supply during times when fresh crops were not available.
The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans often preserved fruits by drying them in the sun or in ovens. Additionally, some fruits were fermented or stored in honey as a form of preservation.
During the Middle Ages, fruit preservation became more refined, especially in Europe.
People began making jams, jellies, and preserves, often using sugar—a rare and expensive commodity at the time—to enhance both flavor and preservation. Common fruits for preserves included cherries, peaches, and quinces, and spices like cinnamon and cloves were frequently added for flavor and their antimicrobial properties.
The widespread access to sugar, driven by the expansion of sugar plantations, made fruit preserves more common in households. As sugar became more affordable, recipe books began including instructions for making jams, jellies, and marmalades, and preserving fruit in syrup also gained popularity.
In the United States, pioneers and settlers preserved fruits like apples, berries, and stone fruits to ensure a steady food supply during the winter months.
The invention of canning by Nicolas Appert in the early 19th century revolutionized food preservation. Appert's method was initially developed to preserve food for Napoleon’s army, and it later led to the mass production of canned fruits.
By the late 1800s, canned fruits became widely available on the market, changing the way fruits were stored and consumed.
