On the second part of our blog, we are going to preserve a meat, a fruit and a vegetable using various processes. In our case we used submersion in oil and vinegar for the vegetable, which is when food is submerged into oil or vinegar (Duh). For the meat we used the salting process, which happens when salt is put into the food to eliminate its humidity. Candying, when the food is put into heated syrup, and then it is drained, was used for the fruit. But enough with the serious and boring facts. Let’s get started with the fun! It is time to cook, and take pictures! There was enough researching, now we are going to preserve the foods, share the recipes, and take pictures of the procedure. So lets get our cooking utensils ready, and start cooking!

Conclusion
Well, cooking was a lot of fun! We certainly enjoyed preparing all those recipes, and I do hope you did too. Remember, if you follow the steps correctly, everything will be alright. Going step by step might actually save you from having to clean up an explosion gone wrong in the kitchen. As always, we advise you to be very careful while cooking, especially when saucepans and ovens are hot, or when using sharp cooking utensils. We hope that now you know how to do this fun and useful recipes to preserve your food, since an occasion to preserve dinner will arrive someday, surely. And, hey, many cave men followed an approximation of these processes to preserve their food. So congratulations! Now you know how to preserve food and understand how cavemen survived in the past! For our next posts we will be describing the advance of our preserved foods. With some luck, they won't be rotten.
