The invention relates to a food preservation method including a component comprising a container that can be made from stainless steel, plastic or any other material that will not contaminate the food contained therein. In addition to a normal lid, the container includes a second lid that is a few millimetres smaller than the normal lid and that is provided with holes allowing the contents of the container to be submerged, without the possibility of floating, in a solution consisting of pure honey for a period of approximately seven days or longer depending on whether meat, fruit, vegetables or shellfish are involved. The container also includes a component consisting of a part that applies pressure on the perforated lid positioned above the food and said pressure ensures that the food is kept fully submerged in the honey without floating, while at the same time allowing a large part of the water contained in food to rise to the upper end of the container from where it is extracted through a channel or manually. Similarly, the pressure applied to the food can expel the water and oxygen until the food is dehydrated or semi-dehydrated, at which point the honey solution stops disintegrating or becomes clear and the production of gases is suspended. The food is then ready to be packed in a receptacle that prevents the ingress of oxygen and stops the fermentation process. The liquids resulting from the water that is extracted from the food together with part of the honey are left to ferment for a period longer than 15 days, in order to obtain liquors from fermented fruit in the case of fruit, sauces for use in sweet and sour cooking and vinegars in some cases. |
