Fermentation Though most people don’t think about it often, much of what we eat has been fermented. The list includes yogurt, cheeses, vinegar, beer, bread, wine, soy sauce, deli-style dill pickles, salami and cured meats like salami, chorizo and pepperoni. It works by transforming the sugars in the foods into acidic compounds that enhance flavor and aid in preservation. In many cases, the fermentation process also increases the availability of vitamins and nutrients in the food and makes it more easily digestible. Salting Salting or salt-curing is another method for removing the water from food so that it is resistant to molds, bacteria and yeasts. Salt has the ability to draw moisture from just about anything and so becomes an effective preservative. D’Artagnan’s Jambon de Bayonne is an excellent (and delicious) example of a salt-cured product. Preserving with Fats and Oils Fats and oils are another medium that both repel water and create an effective seal against the onslaught of microorganisms. Traditional methods include rillettes, in which you cook meat or fish with additional fat and then roughly blend them together and confit, which has you submerge cuts of meat in a fat or oil bath and slowly poach them until totally tender. If these products are then sealed in fat, they can last for several months. Preserving with Sugar One of the more common and accessible preservation methods for the home cook, preserving with sugar means simply to either cook chopped seasonal fruit with sugar until it is thickened and jammy or pack washed fruit into clean jars, cover with a sugar syrup and then seal. Pickling So much of safe preservation has to do with managing oxygen, water and acid. Submerging food in vinegar effectively addresses all three. Nearly any fruit or vegetable can be pickled and in many cases, the addition of a vinegar-based brine greatly improves the flavor of the pickled item. Preserving with Alcohol Alcohol is both highly acidic and inhospitable to bacteria, mold and yeast. That makes it an ideal preservation medium for many of the same foods that a vinegar brine works well with. One popular way to use alcohol as a preservative is through the tradition of the rumtopf or Bachelor Jam. Essentially, it’s a jar or stone crock into which seasonal fruit is layered and then covered with some sugar and rum or brandy. Allowed to sit for several months, the fruit infuses the alcohol with its flavor and takes on the taste of the booze as well.
