Decomposition is caused by bacteria. The process of canning involves heating the product to kill the bacteria and then sealing it up in a sterile state. Some bacteria, such as botulism, can grow without air so if the canning is not done properly the food can spoil, sometimes not in a way you would notice immediately.

This product will last about 2 weeks. It needs to be in an air tight container. If in a store bought jar and opened, it will last about 2 weeks.

If not stored properly, they can go bad. Exposure to light can cause oxidation and the preserves can grow mold.

What is a preserve?

Well, the word preserve can mean a few things. In general it means to keep something for a long period of time. A preserve can be like an Animal Preserve... a place where animals can go to be safe from hunters, and where people are trying to protect (preserve) them. If your grandmother makes preserves, that is usually jam or jelly that is made from fruit (making fruit into preserves is a way of keeping the fruit preserved... so it won't go bad).
