For preserving fruit, I buy ascorbic acid in the Vitamin C pill form in the pharmacy of my local grocery store. **keeps fruit from browning through oxidation - my apples in my apple-cran pie filling recipe stayed so white...I was so pleased! I only have done Water Bath Canning and this totally works. I am sure a lot of you already use this process.

How To Make ascorbic acid vit c- fruits from turning brown

  • Step 1
    I crush up the amount of VITAMIN C TABLETS needed (3000 mg ascorbic acid to 1 gallon water) and dissolve the tablets in water. I then soak the fruit in the water for about 10 minutes or more. This works wonders in preserving the natural colors and preventing oxidation -- and it's HEALTHY to use!!
  • Step 2
    Use it for apples or any fresh firm fruit!
