Fruit Preserve

Abstract

Fresh fruits are very popular among all age groups. But fresh fruits are available only during certain seasons and thus cannot be enjoyed round the year. Technological advancements have now made it possible to enjoy fruits or vegetables even during off-season by different techniques like dehydration, canning, fruit bars, essences and fruit or vegetable preserves. The North-East states of India produce many fruits like papaya, strawberry, raspberry, pear, guava, pineapple etc. A fruit preserve making activity in the region can run round the year as several fruits are grown.
