How to properly store homemade preservation
For homemade preservation to stand for a long time, inspect the jars regularly. Check whether there is swelling, rust, leakage, cloudiness or mold. For better storage:

- leave a small space between the jars and the wall;
- do not allow sharp temperature changes;
- store jars in a dark cool place.
